I totally know what you mean, Becca, and I'd be one of the last people to ever write-off Fleetwood Mac's wealth of great music, both before and after Buckingham & Nicks.... I just feel that the presence of *both* Lindsey & Stevie boosts Fleetwood Mac's appeal (to the general audience, at least) and definitely their sales.
And yes, that so-called Buckingham & Nicks chemistry has sometimes over-shadowed the great musical legacy that Fleetwood Mac possesses, but I also think that it greatly enhanced Fleetwood Mac's bankability.
In saying that, there's also no question in my mind that being in Fleetwood Mac helped Lindsey & Stevie.
