Irish Mist:
The biggest draw back I see is the winters. I love visiting in the winter but I wouldn't want to spend a full winter, especially if the weather we got this year becomes more frequent. I see lots of retirees in my area spend 6-months in FLA and 6-months in the Lakes Region. If your pocket book can afford splitting the year between a summer home and a winter home, I think that is the way to go. Good luck.
