Yeah out of the options a claim on the province would make sense and I wouldn't have minded that much as I would have been able to take back the province at a later date from Al Andalus who were pretty weak. Without the CB a war to regain Tago would potentially have been more irritating as the AI can be stubborn when offered deals for specific provinces even if the province doesn't really help them.
I do like some of the colonial events particularly the influx of colonists events that occasionally take population from main land provinces and help boost populations in colonies that human players would not normally bother expanding further other than through natural growth. It would be quite cool if there was some way of implementing colonial capitals to give a sense that some colonies have risen to genuine importance.
The events could give you a choice of provinces in the region that could be focused on and the colony would then get a fort level boost and a population boost (Some population coming from the other nearby colonies and some coming from the homeland). Admittedly I imagine this would be difficult to implement on a random basis and similar fixed events might already exist for the other regular colonisers.
In terms of colonisation I did feel that Brittany was a bit slow to get explorers as a lot of the islands had already gone and Eire had fully colonised Eastern Canada. Their description indicates that Brittany should be a colonial power which is still possible but I'm not sure where as Brazil has pretty much been split between myself, Bavaria and Sicily. Argentina and Uruguay is mostly mine though.
