We bought at HHI first for the 11 month booking window. When we added on we bought SSR for the same reason as you, it was the what DVC was marketing at the time. Unlike you though I like SSR. I love all the resorts and have had no issues booking at 7 months. I guess you could say DVC has worked out for me just the way it was advertised.You don't have an option that I can choose - "I don't like my home resort". We own at SSR and while it's nice, I just don't like it. I grew up near the real Saratoga and just don't get that "I'm on vacation in FL" feel when I'm at SSR. It also looks very similar to a condominium complex I lived in years ago. We bought there because it's what DVC was selling at the time and we didn't research the re-sale market.
