Matt, Good questions. I don't care how many records are in each bucket as long as the sum total of all quantity fields in each bucket are balanced as much as possible.
Taking the extreme case, if I had 999,999 records with a quantity value of 1, one record with a quantity value of 1,000,000 and two buckets, I would put the 999,999 records in one bucket and the single value of 1 million in another bucket and consider the buckets as evenly balanced as possible (999,999 vs. 1,000,000). In other words, the basis for what I consider balanced is the total sum of each bucket's quantity values vs. the number of records in each bucket.
