As a rule I don't like Time Savers but, this one has merit, lots of merit due to the basic design. I would go with the runaround as planned since its not in the way nor would it block the yard tracks from being used.
1,000 cars annually is roughly 83 cars a month or around 20 cars a week or roughly 4 -5 cars a day.. A excellent choice for this layout.
The crowning point is the two track yard which gives you room to work plus gives you a room for any overflow cars that can't be spotted "off spot" on the industry siding. 
As a side note the runaround on the bottom would extend your run time between switching moves which is a good thing on small ISLs..
Why type of engine are you planning to use?
