Is it possible to lock-off two EOY units and use 2 1 bedroom units to reserve one year and 2 studios the next year? (Trying to decide whether to purchase MOC.)
Not exactly sure about your question, but no; lock-off reservations must be used in the year they are paid for. So, you can not 'bank' a week forward or 'borrow' a week from the next years usage. This is the same for annual or EOY units. Also, lock-off units can not be used to book 13 month reservations (from the same specific unit-ownership). Lock-off units from different ownerships (multiple week/resort owners) can be used to establish 13 month bookings. AFAIK.
So, no I think, is the answer to your question unless I misunderstood....
Thanks @taterhed for clarifying, you understood correctly. The two EOY MOC units would qualify for 13 month reservations but the lock-offs cannot be banked (unfortunately).
You can't bank lock-off components to the next year through an internal MVW mechanism, but you could deposit them to II and request intervals that match to existing reservations, ultimately ending up with (for example) a 1BR owned component and a 1BR II exchange during one year, then a Studio owned component and a Studio II exchange unit during another.
It'd require you to watch your dates carefully for reserving, depositing and requesting, but it could be done.

I might be confused by what you're saying about EOY Weeks and the 13-mos Reservation Window but just in case ...
If you have two EOY lock-off Weeks with usage in the same year, the 13-mos window can be used if you book both of those Weeks, or lock-off components from both of them, consecutively or concurrently. But if you have two EOY lock-off Weeks with one having even-year usage and the other odd, you can't use the 13-mos window to book the individual lock-off components of each in their designated use years.
