In the time it takes to get to the T1 hotel, I could be in a cab heading to a city hotel - which is pretty much what i do now for overnight connections.
Absolutely correct, hence the "space permitting" in what I wrote. Prepare to be assigned to any of them, but it doesn't hurt to reserve the room in a way that maximizes your chances of being in the closest one.
