On that point I stand corrected then - don't worry about the additional value of having a BS if there is none. Also good to know that my degree plan has more versatility than I expected - I should have no problem getting a junior dev job if all else fails!
So instead focus on what you plan to do. A CS degree will get you pretty much any entry level job on the technical side, and from there you should be able to move into technical management roles or even expand into business. The guy who invented modern entrepreneurial science (lean startup) was once a programmer, worked up to senior management with that, then went full business process from there. What do you plan to get from the BSBA? Perhaps there's something on the marketing or client relations side of the house where those skills are of primary importance and the BSBA is going to be more valuable. And those things might involve enough tech that you need to demonstrate that you have those kind of skills. If you need the flexibility of both, or just aren't worried about the extra capstone or $1200, go for both.
