If Marriott allows upgrade, the calculation would be using the hotel component value of the new certs, compare that to the residual value of the old certs, the difference is your upgrade cost. It is not too hard to figure out. The unfortunate thing is, the new cert value is based on the Peak prices, hence the upgrade cost is much more than the old package which is a flat incremental value.

It doesn't appear to work this way. Marriott seems to have constructed a table where OC1-5 and OC6 both get you to NC1-4 and can then be upgraded in flat 60k increments. They are still based on peak prices but the logic is still the same.
