This would be essentially like splitting Nashville and Murfreesboro into two separate metros.
Actually no, it wouldn't. Because if it was, the Census would have made that split. They don't combine/split metros willy nilly. It's based on commuting habits of various counties.
According to the latest numbers, nearly 32% of workers in Rutherford County, TN (Murfreesboro) commute into the other counties included in the Nashville MSA.
As for Durham County, NC (Durham), only 14.9% of workers commute into the Raleigh-Cary MSA.... not enough to warrant combining Durham County into the Raleigh metro. Typically I believe its around 25% that warrants including a county into a different MSA.
Give it up.

To legitimize this data for the sake argument is ineffectual and downright strange. Having lived in the area, I can tell you that the media and residents within the Triangle wouldn't maintain any other combination than Raleigh/Durham as a metro.
