Bussing question

Hey all.
 
I am looking for opinions on my bussing setup.
I have a busses setup for my reverb called small room, medium room, and large room.
 
I have busses set up called lead vocal, backing vocal
 I am routing my background vocal tracks to the background vocal buss, I add my reverb send buss to the background vocal buss this way rather than placing a reverb send on each vocal track, I apply my reverb at my background vocal buss.
I then send all of my busses to a bus called submaster which the fader is always all the way down, then to a mix left and a mix right, and then to a master buss. 
My question is concerning placing the reverb send on the individual busses rather than on the individual tracks.
I do the same with my guitar busses, and so on,..
Does anyone see issues with this setup?
Thanks

    No problem, other than perhaps being more complex than necessary. But whatever works for you...

    Personally, I use individual sends on each vocal track and run the reverb(s) 100% wet. That doesn't let me do much that you can't do with your setup; mostly it just keeps things a little tidier. But it does give me the option of sending other tracks besides vocals to the common reverb bus.

    I don't get the "submaster" with the fader down, though.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Hey bit. The submaster was part of a template that Jonas put together sometime ago.
