Default Location is most important

I also agree that your priority should be the lot. I have known many people who have bought a home they liked only to find that the back to back lanai did not work for them. Noise travels in these homes and with a "kissing" lanai you may not have much, if any privacy. People talk loud on their lanais, they entertain on their lanais, they may have barking dogs on their lanais and they may have televisions out there too. This usually becomes an issue after you've lived in your home for a while. I have 5 friends that have recently moved because of the lanais being so close. I know of 2 more people considering moving as well. I would say that your lot choice should be the number one priority.
