> I am not alone in this, Formula E has more sponsors and the Formula 1 people that have jumped ship to it are not 'has beens'.

This is potentially a bit deceptive. The young Formula 1 guys who are driving in Formula E would rather have a seat in F1 and aspire to go back, and when it comes to money, sponsorship in Formula E costs approximately nothing compared to F1.
