I'm seriously considering dumping this puppy after many many years of great ownership and use.

UPDATE on TIMING
Given that I'm approaching 180 days out, with the new RCI trading power points, I am going to be making the 2011 MF payments and spacebanking the upcoming year's use.
Therefore, if anyone is interested in this unit, we would be looking at use starting in 2012 unless some special arrangements are made.

Not ready to get another unit, but..
Just checking...it's a 3 Br L/O...?
So RCI does it as max 16 'credits', or 14 for now because it's under 9 mo.
However, if you deposit A and B separately, you can get 14 and 12 points (max)...that's a pretty respectable 26 points (closer to what many prime season weeks go for).
Not a bad deal on a week...someone will get a pretty good deal..

Yes you're correct in all of your math above. MF's are $764 for 2011.
Given that I own a Lifetime in Hawaii floating studio with MF's of $390 and TP's of between 31 and 49, however, the Kingsgate pretty much sucks.
For TP=26, it would cost me $764 + $99 (combo fee) + $164 (exchange fee) = $1,027 for a week's vacation. Rentals are cheaper than that . . . so no bargain to be had in that scenario.
I don't mean to create a real negative about this week, but that is the reality as I see it today. Of course, the RCI rules could change and if I were to see our "Wyndham" preference return on exchanges, I'd be a happier camper. (I have used the 1BR side of the L/O for Wyndham 2BR units in Hawaii through RCI.)
