Agreed. There's essentially no reason not to put in an exchange, anywhere
three or more ISPs are present.

That's 90 miles away, so I'd recommend not trying to extend their switch fabric
that far. If you were considering a second exchange in Boston, I'd definitely
recommend using the same switch fabric for both locations, but not at 90 miles
of remove. That would put a pretty big burden on the smaller ISPs that are
likely to be participating in Springfield.
