I'm in a similar situation. Already own BWV for Epcot, but I want another Epcot resort, something that has a long expiration for after 2042, and Direct points for benefits. I also want a good deal lol
In your situation if you decide to buy riviera and have to sell some contracts down the line, I would probably sell VGF, and then the other resale contracts first, not Riviera. It doesn't seem you are attached to VGF in particular or magic kingdom (and you have CCV for that as well). You would still have direct benefits and SAP through 2070 if you kept Riviera as well, then you could rebuy VGF or other resale contracts later. If you have a situation where you have to sell and liquidate everything, then it doesn't really matter what you have because it's all gone.
I'm considering buying the RIV points, trying to sneak them into BWV or BCV whenever I can, and stay at Riviera or rent some out when I can't. Book your BWV stays a couple nights at a time, see if any of the dates are available at 7 months with RIV points, then save the few BWV points for next time. Or do some 1br with the RIV points at BWV or BCV when available. Their point charts are better than RIV so it's better than a 1br there. If you aren't in love with RIV then worst case you have a bunch of direct sleep around points to use at anything else they come up with as well as BWV and BCV when they reopen.
If you loved Poly I would say wait for that, but it doesn't sound like you do. You want a new Epcot resort like BWV or BCV with a long expiration. Me too! But RIV is the closest thing right now so I would buy that or wait and see what they do. I have heard rumblings on some podcasts that they are thinking about changing some of the restrictions, but I'm taking that with a massive grain of salt. But who knows. Good luck with your decision!
