If anything I'd say it's more important if NYC is not your preferred domicile. But I think a displacement bid is important for anyone to have in, especially if junior. It costs nothing. Just be sure to put in a MANDATORY displacement preference, not a voluntary displacement (unless that's truly what you want). I know a guy who accidentally displaced himself off the 330B, a spot he planned on staying on until he could hold 330A lol.
