Any opinions on the now versus later issue? Not too sure about colors at this point as we may replace the bedroom carpeting down the road with matching tile or vinyl planking.
I don't think you should switch to any kind of gloss. But it is YOUR house. Do what makes YOU happy.

The paint is fine to wipe off spots. There are those who diss anything the developer does but we have purchased two new homes here and have been more than satisfied with both of them and with warranty.
