Default Gardenia vs Lily

I have a Gardenia and am very happy with the floor plan. I too have only seen the Lily floorplan, but I can make a couple of comments about the things I know about the Gardenia and the things I see in the floorplan of the Lily.
First, the MBR door opens direcly into the living room. I like the hallway in the Gardenia getting to the MBR. More privacy in my opinion.
Second, there is a single (shared) closet in the MBR. Not good for me and the Mrs.
Third, the standard Gardenia lanai is awkwardly narrrow at 8' 6". The Lily is even narrower.
Fourth, there is no MBR exit to the lanai.
On the plus side, the Lily has 3 real bedrooms, with closets. The 3rd BR in the Gardenia is a den as it has no closet.
And, the Lily is 70 sq ft bigger.
