I can think of at least ONE CON - primitive file locking is... 
primitive. In the event that the lock file is not properly deleted, 
neither user can successfully work with the data until it is cleared.

TWO, maintaining synchronization if both users are active can be a 
chore, since a user loads the data, and while working with it, the data 
is changed by the other user.

Were it me, I'd go with option 3 optimally, and option 2 if simplicity 
in system setup is a primary goal.
