[tor-relays] Questions on traffic differences between two Exit relays in two different locations

I would like to understand the working of two exit relays, one is about
7 days old -the other worked as a middle relay before and is an exit now
for about two weeks. The second one has a higher potential connection up
to 250 Mbit/s while the first is supposed to be limited on 100 Mbit/s.
They both run (Linux 3.16.0-4...),   Tor 0.2.7.6, both use half or less
of their CPU and Memory.

So why does the second node in a different city in Eastern Europe not
attract more traffic compared to the first one and thereby uses its full
capacity, even when the second one is longer in the market?

Could please somebody explain or send me some links to read ?
Does this depend on the location of the node and in which way?
