Tombo, you make some good points so maybe we could start a new thread of pros/cons of DCs vs timeshares vs fractionals vs renting (hotel, condo, resort, etc...). Perhaps capture the sweetspot of each and then publish/post a synopsis/chart of which venue might be best for prospective buyers? The problem and value in doing this is that each is significantly different in cost, risk, reward, usage, etc... They don't easily compare and each persons tastes and risk tolerance would drive them to one genre of product vs another. A little normalization between the different venues could be achieved. Perhaps, template a three or four-week per year snapshot of each and then proceed from there.
