I can't imagine there would be any HRC units available 18 months out because we get access to the unit week / points associated with the unit week at 12 months out (so there is no HRC inventory between 12-18 months out). At 12 months out the story may change a little, but a unit owner would have to release their owned unit week between 6-12 months out, just as it is done right now. At the 6-12 month mark, we all have access, so not a massive change. Between 0-6 months out HPP units become available to HRC owners. My takeaway from this is between 6-12 months out there is some disparity as HPP has access to HRC units, but not the other way around. This may have some impact on the availability to HRC owners, and may have some kind of impact on the wait list. Then, under the six month mark HPP inventory HRC owners would not have access to if it were not for the new HPP system becomes available to HRC owners. Hence, anything we may lose between 6-12 months we gain under the six month point. If this is all correct, I don't see any reason to buy into the 98
