We've done this too (poly vs CSR). If transportation is your issue then drive your own car. I love that you can park for free at the parks with your resort parking pass. I prefer driving my own car vs the bus anyday ! Of course you will miss the convenience of the monorail to the MK from the poly.
I LOVE the poly but there are things about it I don't like (overcrowded pool--and I know all those people are not staying there). I actually think I like the CSR pool better--lots more seating, food service at the pool, and its very tropical.
Also if you do drive your own car and your room is far from El Centro, just drive to it. That's what we have done. But all in all its a pretty nice resort (just got back today from CSR, Hilton Parc Soleil, then AKL). That being said, if you are dead set a staying at a Disney resort I totally get it (love the theming) but they are $$$. Try an off site hotel and then you will have the dilemma we face: poly vs CSR vs offsite!!!
Visit the poly while you are there and you will be fine
