Ok, I understand your question. At my point in my career (14 years experience), the question of how much relocation plays a factor is significant in my evaluation for schools. Others may not consider it a big deal (especially those that are single and w/out children), but I have to ask myself it would be worth all the uprooting and expenses involved. For the intellectual discourse, yes, it would be well worth it. But in the grand plan, I'm probably much better off staying put and tayloring a local MAIS degree to fullfill my needs.
