What I think would be more helpful is to try to be central to the amenities you think you'll find most meaningful to you. Supposedly, and I think this is true, if you want to be convenient to the most number of golf courses, probably between the 6s (between 466 and 466A), but there's plenty of golf north of 466, and in the Brownwood Area as well, but as you go to those extremes you'll have a longer commute to some of the tracks. If biking and hiking on the trails is your bag, the newer areas would be more attractive. There will still be golf, but not as much, and some long commutes to much of it.
I thought I could figure it out with a few short visits, and even looking at maps, but what really helped us pin down what we wanted was 3 seasons of renting. You don't need 3 seasons of renting, but the more time you spend here the better you'll understand what you want. There is a reason that so many people change locations within TV, and I think the reason is not having spent enough time in the bubble before buying.
So, what activities and features do you think you'll find most attractive?

Laker14, you took the words right out of my mouth. I think the area between 466 and 466A is very desirable, because of the proximity to town squares and golf courses. This appeal should remain, even if TV grows. I can't imaging an amenity they would put in the south that i won't have between the 6's, and if there is, I can always get in the car and drive to it.
I would recommend more focus on Local conditions things like: close to town squares, but not so close you hear the music at night, not close to pickle ball courts and hear the click/click, not too close the Polo field and hear the loud speakers, not too close to major road and hear traffic noise, if golf course lot then no golf cart path behind and out of range for golf balls, southern exposure on the lanai, not close to family pools and hear the kids squawking, no power lines in back yard, etc.
