Abound resale opinions desired

Which is exactly why I was asking the questions. Thanks for the responses. Sounds like deeded weeks with low entry price and low MFs are the way to go and going through II would work well for us when combined with our existing HGVC available inventory. I will see what I can get and go from there.
It may or may not be. But without a real world comparison, you'll never know the relative costs and likely reserveability (fake word).

There were a couple of real world comparisons left above. I know what my travel plans are and based on those and the input of everyone, it seems the deeded weeks would work better and be more cost-effective for us.
 
If you give us an idea around the Vistana or MVC resorts you would like to visit and the time of year, you will get a much more nuanced sense of what is possible trading in II. I lock off my 2 bedroom Sheraton Desert Oasis and my 2 bedroom Marriott Grande Vista. I get two trades with each. I use them to ski in Colorado and Utah getting a 2 or 3 bedroom ski week for a total cost of $1100 to 1200 USD per week. I have also traded into a 1 bedroom in Cancun.

Peak school vacation weeks are tougher, but summer weeks in Hilton Head or Myrtle Beach are within reach.

All great value trades.
