I like where this is going and think it would be good to add in add standard hotel rooms for a more diverse set of data. I'll ignore the 1-of-1 suites as those can go for 10k/night after tax

Lower rack rates make a good argument that VDH will have a lower points chart, on average, than VGC. Though I'd be doubtful of VGC maintaining a 25-30% premium, which would put VDH just above BCV/BRV/CCV. Something like the BLT-RVA range, with a variety of views, feels more right to me, but I am definitely guessing.
VGC already has a pretty heavy points chart, too, so there is wiggle room below. Comparison of all resorts:
Average weeks by resort: | Studio | 1 Bedroom | 2 Bedroom |
AUL | 172.7 | 333.0 | 457.7 |
VGF | 167.8 (156.9 pre-VGF2) | 328.7 | 449.9 |
VGC | 164.6 | 323.6 | 444.4 |
Poly | 157.7 | - | - |
RVA | 155.1 (excluding Tower Studios) | 327.9 | 421.9 |
BLT | 141.2 | 273.0 | 373.5 |
VBR | 132.9 | 218.0 | 292.3 |
BCV | 121.7 | 247.7 | 320.8 |
BRV | 121.5 | 247.2 | 320.6 |
CCV | 121.2 | 247.5 | 320.3 |
BWV | 118.7 | 240.5 | 308.9 |
SSR | 106.7 | 220.3 | 286.6 |
HHI | 100.5 | 197.2 | 248.5 |
OKW | 93.7 | 197.2 | 269.4 |
(all numbers above are properly weighted by the count of rooms in the view category and number of nights in each points season)
