Thank you to everyone who contributed to my decision!
I decided to bite the bullet and take the loss. I will rent my new incoming points to cover the loss. It's not like I suddnely need 3 times the points this next year. After cancelling all the other contracts I had planned to buy and realign with just OKW E, I am saving 11K minus the 2K deposit loss for a 9K new 'gain". Does it $uck, yes, but it was my mistake. I was overtaken my the resale bug after 30 years and I convinced myself that SSR was okay and that
DVC E was not to be had. (It's still nearly impossible)
It was my first trip that didn't involve guests and high park travel. I drove around Orlando, went to Heavenly Foot Massage, had my hair cut and colored. Filled my second Owners' Locker. I just wanted to live at OKW and there were no OKW E points available. I can work from home indefinitely. My DH can and did work from OKW. My semi annual blood work shows that I am still cancer free. My first Grandchild turns 1 in a few weeks. Life is amazing.
On these boards, the predominant message is buy where you want to stay, so I am following that long standing advice.
Once again, truly grateful to everyone that weighed in.
