Point of all this is you also have to consider what exposure you have.

True about what you said.
My house has a west/east orientation with the master bedroom on the east side . . . . sun only in the AM. But so is my "great room" and that room and the other rooms in the house are at the same temp except for the master suite in the cold weather. So, the bottom line is that, if your not going to get a boost from Mr Sunshine all day for your master suite, the imbalance in the heat distribution certainly won't keep that room warm and toasty. Additionally, I think that, if we had gas heat instead of an electric heat pump, the situation might be mitigated. Gas heat is much more responsive a the heat pump.
Interesting to note that the temp imbalance is only an issue in the winter when using the heat pump and not in the summer when using the AC itself.
