Resource management is half the fun. If you really have to earn that awakening it makes it so much more satisfying to get there. But even then the job isn't over. I try to get all my awakened units to level 50 as a minimum.
This week has been great for filling resource holes (outside silvers). I got what I wanted from the revival early so it left the rest to farm spirits, orbs (badly needed some for AW Daphne) and DCs (finally have Spica at 13 cost plus 2 awakening fairies), then Affection items over the weekend. Finally got around to putting a dent in my stockpile of plat armors.
