EXP desk made the change for me and didn't even mention the change fee.

Similar situation, about 8 months later when my Q-point ratio had dropped to below 0.8. Suddenly, it's "how would you like to pay for the change fee, Mr. Plato90s?"
Yeah but if you're talking about VIP2's, we're talking about an entirely different era altogether-- doncha' think? And previous, by a couple of years, to the official "no favors, no waivers" doctrine.

My vote is also "no difference." I always have a very high ratio due to AONE travel and while the EP desk treats me great-- well, maybe I've just never asked for anything too special.
