Should Northwestern not match the financial packages offered by other schools, the OP can turn them down on those grounds.

Huh? If OP applies ED to Northwestern, he won’t know what the other schools may offer at the time he has to accept or decline the ED offer. That’s the problem. Besides, OP seems to already know what NU will offer and that it’s inadequate, so until OP explains how the shortfall could be covered, we have to assume NU is not going to work and he needs to explore other options.
