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.
