Except RIV was never in line with GF/POLY to start with on Studios it was already less expensive and already more in line with BLT. Also what this does is start a potential imbalance 1BR Preferred at RIV if the continue to shift points from Studio to 1BR. Studios will go first pretty much 365 so as such if they are balancing it should not be giving a further discount on rooms already booking first.

You can see a fairly significant 7%-10% range across the Studios (outside Season 6) between VGF/RIV but in the 1BR you are noticing it shrink down to a 4%-6% range. If you are trying to compare the two resorts. I think many would agree an over 2x price increase of Studio to 1BR is a little steep of a difference.
If you don't want to balance between Studio/1BR/2BR that is fine but if you do balance its strange to be taking points from Studios and moving them to 1BR.
