For some people there is an additional value in the RR2.0 points in that they count towards Companion Pass qualification, they are in effect a form of EQM, not just RDM. For example, come October and I'm short 10 RR1.0/12,000 RR2.0 credits towards my CP renewal, those points will be much more valuable than $200 to me when I transfter them to WN.
