If you really want to balance out the grid to account for distribution and transmission costs, you still need storage, and net pricing disincentivizes storage.
Spot prices are already location-dependent, and yes a real distributed smart grid would do this on a micro scale, and a correctly designed smart grid would incentivize local storage. Which is what I think you mean by "hard to determine".
