You're going to hit the first two organically and choosing additional SQC isn't going to get you to the latter.
The opportunity for the banked year is somewhat interesting still, but way less valuable than previous ones, even for that minor you get a few points to start.

The overall benefit of it is certainly reduced compared to what it was. Before I would’ve tried to get it now if I happen to get there, I’ll get it but it’s not nearly as valuable.
