I am really surprised by your 50-50 statistics. Do you have a source? Does it apply to all pax at NCE or just BA?
That being said, it is true that Cannes (and to some extent Nice) is a leading venue for conferences and seminars.
T2 (AF, Easyjet, DL, EK, SU) has become a very nice terminal, but I find T1 not very pleasant.
