Starpoints are really not the best use of your timeshare from a value point of view

It depends! It is generally not worth it in lower cost hotel. Keep it for very expansive one. I've done a month of vacation in Europe in only the most expansive hotel (on average 650 Euro per day or 900$ US per day). Westin Venice, Florence, Milan, Paris, Versaille and Meridien Monaco. If you are Gold, they upgrade you if available. We were lucky to have a suite in 80% of the cases. You have to figure out the cost based on your fee. Sometimes the best deal is half point half cash.
