I have given a lot of thought, read quite a few posts on this forum and am considering the following options.

Whispering winds - They have just started and the project will take forever. But, I am in no hurry and can wait for a few years. Though these are small apts, they fit my budget very well without any stretching. Have seen an apt in phase 1 where one of my acquaintances is living and seems to be happy. This area is very attractive for me as it is very close to my work place. Negatives: Small size, water issues, the apts seem a bit too crowded. Positives: Excellent area/location and much cheaper when compared to the neighbors (MV, Paranjape, Padma vilas etc)

The other alternatives that I seriously considered are at a higher price range (Rohan Leher, Tarang resale, Paranjape Crystal Garden). Paranjape is quoting 3500 and sounded that they might consider a lower price. These have their advantages such as much better design, spacious, reputed builder etc.

However, am not sure if I should spend so much money up front when compared to Whispering winds. The simple logic being, when I really want to stay and if I don't like to stay in Whispering winds, I could rent it and stay in my choice place by paying the dirrerence rather than paying the EMI difference from now on. My case is unusual in the sense I need a home as a back up and I am in no hurry to move into a new one. The logic of investing my money elsewhere somehow is not appealing to me as I will eventually need a home to stay and the location is important.

Does anyone have any idea about the builder? I am only worried by the stories that the builder might take forever and in some cases, if the prices go up, the builder might play tricks/harass to take back the booking and rebook.
