I put some marbles in the bottom to help with stability.
On a side note I bought a bag of Miracle Grow that was FULL of bugs. I will never use them again. This is the first time this has happened but I don't care, never again. Luckily my husband accidentally brought home a bag of Better-Gro special orchid mix and I used that for the first time. Some of the chips are pretty big, but nice and bug-free. I added some ground-up egg shells to top. Some pics of during and after:

Looks like a very happy repot. Fred said that he just repotted them so your observations seem to reinforce that.
You mentioned better grow... Their orchid mix is the only mix I use. The miracle grow seems to be a glorified peat mixture which is a death wish. I have had very good luck with better grow, and their Moss is very good also. I might try repotme.com, but they seem to be a little spendy for what I'm doing now. Just my

Just so I don't lose my marbles when I unbox these, how large are they? Height wise? And did anyone get a spike at all in their hauls?
