The issue there isn't the proximity of the interchanges, it's the bottleneck. You've got 3 lanes of Deerfoot, 2 lanes of Bow Bottom and 2 lanes of Anderson converging into 3 lanes of Deerfoot. Bow Bottom and Anderson tend to merge okay, and Deerfoot is reduced to 2 lanes before getting mixed with Anderson, but that still means you've got 4 lanes going down to 3. It works a lot better going South because it's not a bottleneck. Proximity to Southland only causes a problem because everyone tries to make their lane change in the first 20 meters.
But yeah, I think all of Southland, Anderson, and Bow Bottom should intersect Deerfoot. Cutting one of them off would just create big detours and bottlenecks elsewhere.
