I agree that the 6 month limitation could definately be a deciding factor on which option to choose. I recently booked a room in Venice and one in Rome for 50K points each for late May & early Jun 2012. It will be a timing issue of when the Q4FNs get issued to potentially use these, cancel my current reservations and get my 50k points back...... assuming availability still of course.
