2012 vdi connection broker question - can you weight it to certain hosts?

Hi

I'm having a play in my lab with 2012 R2 vdi and have to say i'm pleasantly surprised about neat it is!

I have two question about the load balancing part, and how many VMs I assign to hosts.

Lets say I have 50 users and 2 hosts. One host has more ram/faster disk that the other, so I want more load on host1 than on host2.

1) Do i just add 40 desktops to host1 manually and 10 to host2 via the add virtual desktops wizard or will the broker work it out itself?

2) What aspects does the broker take into account when balancing connections? does it look at cpu load etc on the host?

3) Will the broker just keep creating VMs as more users access it - or do i need the vms already created? e.g. my 50 users grows to 60 - do i need to create another 10vms on the hosts or will it automatically start creating number 51, 52 and if so presumably it balances them across the hosts somehow? 

Hope that makes sense and thanks for any replies.
