Keygrip,
I can understand the problem, if you can't easily get to full length then your only option is an intersection. On the other hand I can understand the long, and I do mean long taxi route problem too. When we are departing Runway 5 (12,000 feet long) it is over 2 miles worth of taxiing to go full length so I rarely see any small aircraft willing to taxi that far so they put up with the wake turbelence delays.
