A 79th Street/York-1st Avenue station, even with the SAS I think would be very heavily used in addition to both the 72nd and 86th street staions on the SAS, since this stop would mean not nearly as long a walk for those who live east of 2nd avenue between those two stations, also indirectly helping to reduce the overcrowding problems on the 6 at that point, with such trains then stopping on a lower level of 72nd/2nd and then splitting up to join the SAS or the Q train to Broadway on a pretty much alternating basis (assuming by that time the SAS is complete). The area in Manhattan noted is one of the most densely populated areas in all of New York, which is also why I would make a 79th/York-1st Avenue station a three-track, two island platform station that would also allow for some service in rush hours to begin/end there.

You are highlighting a real issue, but it would be much easier to alter the station spacing of the SAS to better reflect the population shape:

114-116 → 116-118
106-108 → 106-108 (NC)
96-98 → 95-97
84-86 → 86-88
71-73 → 77-79
(none) → 68-70
