Does intern year really mean anything

I'm trying to set up my match list for TY years and basically have it between MSKCC - which is a somewhat more involved, labor-intensive and rigorous TY - vs. a very relaxed community hospital TY in my home state. I'd love to have people weigh in on what they think the TY year means in regards to Rad Onc- if anything - and, in that vein, if there's anything that I stand to gain by going the more punishing route and spending the year in NYC. Are there are research opportunities or connections... Does intern year really mean anything
