That's great news and congratulations! I do not believe Aruba weeks can be deposited to the Trust, so it's really hard to predict what will get ROFR'd. That's a terrific price.
Best,

I know of 4 or 5 of these MGV gold 2BR ODD/EVEN that went for $1000-$1500 on eBay. They do not fetch more then that on resale market.
Also Shadow ridge and Desert springs are going for same rate. Most of them got ROFR'd.
What really worries me is that Marriott is building the trust with gold/silver/bronze (reads cheap inventory) and getting lots of points to sell for high price.
I remember same thing happened with Worldmark which I also own. When Wyndham bought Trendwest, they started buying cheap undesired resorts and adding them to Worldmark credit inventory at an inflated credit rates. The end results were everyone was competing for the old nice and reasonably priced resorts and the new resorts got lightly utilized. There was a big lawsuit that got settled with Wyndham few years back where they had to take some of the undesired inventory out of Workdmark points pool.
I guess in order to avoid that, either Marriott puts the whole condo (52 weeks) in the trust or the total trust points must have limiting numbers or Plat, Gold and Silver like (50% plat, 30% Gold and 20% Silver).
Hope that does not happen with Marriott.
