A datapoint on this, acknowledging it's a sample size of one. My partner received a buy up offer for 75K he's sitting at 100KSQM and $8000SQD, the buy up offer was for $1799 - almost double the actual SQD gap to 75K. I'm sitting in roughly the same spot, although slightly more SQD and I've received nothing.

The incremental benefits between 50K and 75K weren't worth it for us.
