So, most timeshare enthusiasts find their importance to be of little value when vacationing and the opinion of most is that the savings obtained when buying resale Starwood timeshares greatly outweighs this unattainable attribute.

So, Wendall, your stated ability to transfer within the SVN if buying at one of Starwood's Mandatory timeshare resorts does provide you with the versatility you seek.

Also, just for the purpose of clarification, Staroptions(another term often used within the SVN) are the Starwood timeshares value of exchange within the Starwood Vacation Network(SVN). Each individual Starwood timeshare is designated a certain Staroption value for exchange.
