We own at both BCV and BLT precisely because those resorts are where we want to stay. It's wonderful to be within walking distance of Epcot/Hollywood Studios and MK when staying at those resorts and, as we don't drive not to have to wait for transportation especially after fireworks/Fantasmic etc.

Unless you really don't mind where you stay the ability to book at the 11 month window at those resorts is worth it for us, although you should take into account the fact that both BCV and Boardwalk have a relatively short shelf life.
