I think that part of the reason the more Evangelical Protestants choose the Orthodox Church is that they've been brought up to view the Catholic Church as absolute anathema; "The Enemy". They view the Orthodox as a sort of Third Way: little 'o' Orthodox yet ambivalent towards the Catholic patriarchy (i.e., no Pope) and a bit softer view towards certain Catholic doctrines (i.e., Mary).

The more "High" Protestants like the Episcopalians/Anglicans/Anglo-Catholics and Lutherans tend to convert to the Catholic Church. More in common with us, since they are really only 500 years directly removed from us.

THis is not to sound like I'm criticizing the Orthodox Church, but just that I see this as some of the reasons why the converts come more from the Evangelical side.

You may well be right about the "Enemy" part. Its unfortunate that some converts bring that baggage along with them, but its usually pretty much shed by around year 10 in Orthodoxy. I will say that if they think our doctrines on Panagia are somehow or other "softer" than Rome's, they must experience quite a comeuppance once they realize where we are with her! :)
