We have owned a legacy Oceanfront condo for 10 years and love it. We do not like the point system they aggressively try to sell us. All you have to do is compare the percentage increase in dues to increase in Destination point dues. If you own the property outright, the dues increase is much less. On the points, guess who profits from the faster rate of increase in dues? Destination Points are full of rules, dates, availability issues...who needs the complication. If you own the legacy week outright, you don't deal with any of those issues. You know when you are booked, and which condo you get. Simple and relaxing.
