Bromo is probably closer to Bali than Yogyakarta. I haven't been there. But Mt Merapi is close to Yogya, and quite spectacular if you're into volcanoes.
And looking from the top of Borobudur temple, you can't see the base of Mt Merapi, but you can see the top of it above the clouds, and it looks like a mountain in Heaven. They certainly picked an ideal site to build the temple.
