dot.com versus dot.co.uk

Now I am in a bit of a predicament (perplexed or just not thinking straight) trying to decide where I should be concentrating my efforts?
I have built and developed my website as a dot.com but I do own the same domain name as a dot.co.uk

My initial thoughts were that more people were likely to visit a dot.com website than any other. I suppose I have also been trying to cater for customers here in the UK (where I live) but wanted to benefit from a much bigger (predominantly USA) market. I am promoting physical products that will need shipping.
Amazon.co.uk affiliation is fine and as a UK citizen I will earn real cash (£) commissions if I ever do make that elusive first sale! With Amazon.com, however, they won't actually pay me but give me credits/Amazon vouchers to spend with them.
I've got a few other affiliation partners both UK and US based and I suppose I just wanted to know if anyone else has had the same thoughts or perceived problems? My head is telling me that, the wider audience I can reach, the more likely I am to make sales. Or am I over-thinking and making this much more complex than necessary?
As always any and all observations welcome :0)
