Hopefully, JW's OWV will be a little cheaper than StR.

If they make the September opening for reservation guests I would be surprised if they did not have most of the kinks worked out in 7 months. We will likely try to go in Feb or March, but I will be keeping an eye on things post-September. We would have gone to StR, but that whole game they played with room availability pre-March 5th left a bad taste in my mouth.
Thank you! What they are telling me makes it seem like it will be more reasonable than the StR quote that I got from my ambassador the other week:

Our Overwater Pool Villa Sunrise and Beach Pool Villa Sunrise will be applicable for redemption booking and we are expected to be in hotel category 7 or 8. If we will be in category 8, points per night required is around 70,000 – 100,000. If we get category 7, it will start around 50,000 – 70,000 points per night. Points redemption stay can only be booked once our system is up around July 2019.
