I haven't seen anyone play either one, but my game store stocks AiME and never stocked TOR. I've talked about running something at the game store and got a lot of interest in AiME but almost none in TOR. I think it's just that 5E rules all hereabouts.
I know for me I bought TOR at GenCon years ago and liked the way it read, but my group never seemed interested. They like LotR but aren't experts or fanatics about the world. When AiME came out they got really interested, since they play 5E a lot. I backed the TOR 2E KS but would switch to AiME 2E in a heartbeat because I think that's what my group would play.

Fell in love with Tales from The Loop, Vaesen, 5E LotRR ... Now hooked on Dragonbane, which still should be called Drakar och Demoner IMO. Played OD&D since 1975..
