It doesn't matter if it's a "collection of dumb value objects", a component, a state variable, or just a common effect. If an object is used more than a couple of times in the app, put it in the ModelLocator. Remember, everything is an object; instantiated and destroyed like the rest of them (GC?:)). The key is; does the object need to be reusable? If so, make it central.
