I would have split it differently and will expand for the benefit of others. Maybe two 150's and two 75's or possibly even better 150/100*2/50/25 or something along the same principles. You could have still left 225 to each but have more variables covered if you wanted to sell part but not all later. The only negative is each comes with it's own deed so you'd need to change all deeds when transfering to them.Your guide should have told you about splitting your contract up. We bought BLT last month and ours advised us to split our 450 point purchase into smaller contracts. We ended up with 2, 225 point contracts as that way both of our 2 kids can have one passed down to them.
I think the biggest issue for many is knowing the rules ahead of time if you can and that's where DIS comes in. Another is availability issues and the need for planning. I'd recommend everyone get and read the POS before being truly committed.
I used to be a big "buy where you want to stay person" but I've come around to what I think is better for most people, "buy where you don't mind staying". If you've got to have a specific resort most trips or a difficult to get option that is important to you, one should own at that location. However, I don't think that fits most people thus I think if you buy the least you'd be happy with most trips and then can get "better" at 7 months out, even better. If that minimum resort includes SSR, that is currently the best value resale.
