CO and AC should have identical inventory for partners.

I will transfer points if the new program shows signs of being a good value and if I have a need to redeem there. Because a significant part of the value of MR points is their fungability across multiple programs I am not going to transfer them just because I have other points already in CO. Being able to redeem for other MR partners - even where I might not have status or regularly fly - is a great value of the MR program and one that I do not want to give up. Having diversity of points is a good value so long as said deposits/diversity are in sufficient quantities.
