If you are travelling beyond Windsor or Detroit it makes no difference where the facility is located. It will be somewhere along the route.While that seems logical.....
I would expect Toronto would be the destination for most Americans, and Toronto is considerably larger than Detroit.
If the routing of any train here followed the North Mainline it might also connect Americans to Stratford (many, many Americans do drive up.

I imagine Detroit would be a larger destination than Chicago, simply due to to total travel time from the GTA to Chicago and the ability to take a plane for that trip.
The difference only affects trips heading specifically to/from Detroit or Windsor. If the facility is in Windsor, someone heading from Canada to Detroit needs to go through customs, wait for everyone else to also go through customs, and ride a train 1 stop to Detroit.
If the facility is in Detroit they can leave the station as soon as they clear customs, saving them a huge amount of time.
If they are heading anywhere beyond Detroit, they will need to wait for everyone to clear customs and board a second train regardless of whether the facility is in Windsor or Detroit.
