Concur, adding that going with #3 or #2 (no preference from me formally
between the 2, you guys know better here) adds a much-needed release valve
so you don't have to make a decision about the permanent home under
pressure.

Don't know that you need a formal RFP for permanent (well, longterm shackup)
home, but even a rough Mary Poppins-style list of mandatory/highly
desired/desired deliverables ("You must be kind, you must be witty; very
sweet and fairly pretty," etc.) will help lead to good long-term decisions
and can actually accelerate the decision process.
