Default Winter sun holiday-book now or wait ?

I realise that there will not be an 'answer' to this but I would like to know what others have done and experienced please.

We usually manage to get away in late Jan/early Feb each year for 1 or 2 weeks holiday in the sun, hot !
We decide where we want to go, find the hotel we want to stay in and book, either with our good , local travel agent or on-line. Always a comfortable, good class hotel.
Normally we would have booked by now but this year we thought that we would leave the booking until a little later. Reason is that a number of companies are now discounting their winter sunshine breaks. Bearing in mind that we will want a particular hotel, how late do you think we can gamble ?
All the dates we want are still available on web sites and some with discounts now. Should we wait longer and see if prices fall further but then run the risk of not getting in where we want or will most places have room this winter ?
What have other people found when they have tried this..success or not ?

As I said, there is no 'answer' but your experiences if you have tried this ploy would be welcome.

Many thanks

Business commitments and finding cover means that we HAVE to try to plan ahead.
No other choice if we want to get away, just can't do 'impulse buy'.

Cheers
