That is true it is less points per night than RIV but SSR and AKL seem easy to get at the 7 month mark also.I would look at the nightly $ cost of your room. While it appears to be $2 cheaper per point the best way to look at the problem is assign a dollar value to your expected vacation habits. Because AKV has significantly lower point charts its nightly $ cost of your room will be much less. Depending on your travel patters changing at 7 months maybe difficult (wanting studios or 2 bedrooms in the Fall Frenzy, October through January). With all that being said Riviera, IMO, is a beautiful resort and worth the higher point costs but for some it might not be.
Your concern about the end of the contract is valid but I would consider a more cost calculation of the vacations since that really is the utility you get out of the product not the points.
At least from this Chart for June when we will almost always travel.

I really wish there was some reference chart for CCV for June or July for Studios. It seems insane Disney Built that many Cabins for CCV.
