I have done some research rather than just based on forum or facebook.
Setia Ecohill encompasses 673 acres of land and target population of 30,000 people. Source from Setia.
Eco Majestic encompasses 1089 acres of land and target population cannot be found. Therefore, I made some estimation from Ecohill population, which is estimated 45,000 people due to larger land size.
Total expected population in these two area will be 75,000 people and expected to be completed in 8 years time. They are most like the people who will use the "new Ecohill link". I have not considered the population from Semenyih.
On the other hand, Bandar Mahkota Cheras has 10,000 household and spread over 903 acres with population 50,000. Source from wiki.
Bandar Sg Long is a 240 acre township and designed for 10,000 population.
Currently, we are suffer from traffic jam as quoted by many people due to only two access to Grand Saga Highway, e.g. Jalan Sg Long and Persiaran Mahkota 1. Total people using this access is 60,000 people.
By the way, Ecohill and Eco Majestic has total population of 75,000 people which is bigger than 60,000 from BMC + Sg Long!!!! OMG! Will residents from Ecohill and Eco Majestic experience the painful as BMC + Sg Long residents since they have only "new Ecohill link" and Old Semenyih road wow....
Fortunately, a new access is currently under construction at Sg Long to SILK. Strongly believe this will help to ease the traffic condition at least at Sg Long area.
Seems like you have missed one biggest point for the township SEH + EM + SEH 2 in your "research". EcoMajestic shall build a new toll connected to Lekas directly, means to access the Lekas alone, we can use Lekas Semenyih toll via Ecohill link, and also to the Lekas EcoMajestic new toll as well. The new Lekas EcoMajestic toll shall be completed with the first VP of EM.
In terms of infra, from my perception BMC is no where near to SEH + EM + SEH 2. BMC and Sungai Long residents are suffering from the traffic jam everyday, just same as Jalan Semenyih as well, that's fact. One person complaint in FB maybe not representative, but you can see so many people are complaining, don't think they just do it for fun. By the way, the opening of Ecohill Link seems already improve a lot the Jalan Semenyih traffic condition.
One more important condition you must consider, all these new connecting roads similar to expressway, doesn't contain even a single traffic light, the road can be utilized fully everytime.
"Bandar Sg Long is a 240 acre township and designed for 10,000 population." - looks to me critically wrong, UTAR itself already 10,000 population!
