I guess the answer wasn't so simple for me. I don't see the value in buying the same product that provides the same return/perks in an area that costs a significant amount more just to say I have that perceived level of exclusivity or amenities (which I pay extra for anyhow) or just to own that specific "label". But I suppose that's just me looking at it from a pragmatic standpoint.

Works for you but wouldn’t for me. As a retiree, I don’t know why I would buy next to a community with amenities rather than in that community - there are other places to live in Florida. I use the amenities a bit, my wife more, and others use them quite a lot. Middleton wasn’t an option when I moved here but I still would have paid the premium to be in the Villages.
Which isn’t to say no one would buy in Middleton. Someone with ties to the area (such as a job in the Villages) might like the close proximity, access to the schools, a planned community, and some nice amenities more oriented towards those who are busy during the day would find Middleton a great place to live.
