When you say "Deluxe is out and we are not that crazy about the other moderates" do you mean that the only mod you like is PO-R? If that's the case, have you already written off NOT staying there again? Or is it just that you want a change of scenery and don't prefer the moderates?
If that's the case, then my suggestion (and I don't know nothin' about nothin') is to call and talk to a CM, tell them the nights you're planning to stay on property and ask if there are any promotional offers during that time for OKW and SSR. I happen to think they're both lovely resorts, but they often tend to be the least crowded, especially considering their size. And since they ARE strictly DVC resorts ("strictly" meaning that all of the rooms are considered DVC rooms, but they can be rented out by non-members the same way the DVC villas at Boardwalk Wilderness & Beach Club can be rented by non-DVC members), then sometimes they offer promotional prices just to get people onsite to consider becoming DVC members. DON'T WORRY, there will NOT be a sales pitch! If there is a promotional price, it won't come with a 2-hour lecture and tour of the grounds, this is NOT how DVC operates. They might make a pitch FOR the pitch ("While you're there, would you be interested in taking a DVC tour?") and you say No, and that's that.
I know that, in late August and through September, Annual Passholders and some random recent guests got flyers promoting studios in those 2 resorts for 164 or 169 a night. A little more than a mod at that time of year, but maybe worth it for you to consider?
Another possible option is see about renting the points of a DVC member. For around or less than the price of a moderate for a week, you could wind up getting a studio in any of the DVC villas.
And if you still have your heart set on a Value (or there are no promotions in OKW or SSR) it seems that there are less Pop Warner/cheerleader/class trips booked at Pop than at All-Stars, though that could be a misperception on my part.
