Scorecard reflection / Revised offer

 If I were to go back, I think I would alter how I arranged my resources.  Going into the negotation, I wanted to make a deal with RR.  After seeing others negotaite it, I realized the Four Com would be preffered and a better alternative.  With that said, I would have gave less points towards making an agreement with RR and overall less points on the table, knowing that the four com offer is a better fit.  The original offer would have yielded 5 points, with the only thing covered being the relocation, and a partial relocation coverage at that.   The revised offer would have yieleded 17 points, which is still much lower than ideal.  The four com offer would have yielded 43 points, which is signifigantly higher than the other options.   Doing this negotiation over again, I would have needed a much better offer from RR to even consider, knowing how ideal the four com offer is.
