Here is the thing to know about being an OCD planner - there are different kinds - and if you are one kind, switching at seven months will drive you nuts - and if you are the other kind, it will be a game. If you decide what you want a year or more in advance, then have to wait until seven months out to get it, then are missing some days so you waitlist, then have to manually check to see if you can jump into a room - and that is a game, then you are fine. If you are the type of planner where when plans go awry, you freak out, then wondering six weeks out if your waitlist will come through or if you'll be moving midtrip will drive you nuts.
Me, if I were going to buy the points for a one bedroom, I'd buy the points for the place I wanted to stay at a studio. My guess is that you'll eventually want the points for a two bedroom (the kids sleeping in the living room is not the best arrangement when they get to be teens - or even tweens) - then you'll be back into availability issues.
