We own all of our points at SSR, but have stayed in almost every other DVC resort. Our last 3 to stay at WDW are CCV, BRV, and Riviera. Of course, we are probably one of the exceptions in that for just the 2 of us, we usually reserve a 1 bedroom, and those are usually the last to go. We have easily gotten both BCV and BWV at 7 months during F&W because of this.
Saying that, we love SSR, and still stay there as well. Our next 2 trips are already booked there.
I completely agree, especially for the next few years until the glut of points is behind us, and who knows may may happen after that to affect availability. If you buy at a WDW resort, at least you are guaranteed that you will get to visit on your points (well, if reserving at the 11 month window). If someone is flexible and goes at a slower time - and NOT a WDW slower time, but a DVC slower time, then it might be slightly easier if you decide to buy at HH, VB, VGC, or Aulani. Still no guarantee for the 7 month window, though.
