I don't need a high end expensive timeshare when I am spending most of my time sight seeing. All my timeshares are very nice though (better than hotels) and the maintenance fees are not outrageous. I consider this an investment in life experiences and fun. We are all happy with this and that is what counts bottom line.
You bought a timeshare for all the right reasons from what you said in your post.
I have always told everyone to only buy a timeshare for use and buy where you are happy going every year. Anything after this is a plus from renting to exchanging.
The people that buy because they can not say no to a resort or fall in love in a instance while on vacation many times live to regrett it.
We own two units in Lake Tahoe and look forward to our weeks there every year. We bought a even year unit just so if we decide to do a exchange every other year we still can go to the Ridge Tahoe for July Fourth Week each year.
Even with low pricing you don't find many of the very good timeshare resorts for giveaway type pricing because the owners are happy with their timeshares even now.
