During the Christian/Orton feud, was it the right decision to turn Christian heel rather than Orton? Why?

Yes if they turned Orton heel Christian would have to be the top face of Smackdown and he can't do that. Randy Orton was drafted to Smackdown to be the top guy so turning him heel would make no since. Plus Christian is a better heel than face whereas Orton can play both parts pretty well.
