kelly, you are right. The only difference is the upfront bonus points AND the fact that realse buyers will not be allowed to convert SVO points into Starwood SPG hotel/resort points. Basically buying a resell restricts you to staying at the 17 Villa SVO resorts, your annual points can only be spent at the other 16 resorts. In our case, we have used our 81k (KOR) 1-1Bdrm points for a 2Bdrm in Atlantis, not bad.
