If you only have points built up in CO then I'm sure you are unaware of how all the western states (and even Maine) have thrown nonresident point holders under the bus during the last 25 years. It's simply no longer worth holding out for the premium hunting units. Your points will get screwed somewhere along the way before you get there.
That includes your state of Colorado, where rules were "changed" costing me my unit 61 elk tag, among others. The points were devalued long after they were sold to me. The best strategy now is to get some value out of your points by burning them for mid-tier units. You are highly vulnerable to being screwed by unethical legislators if you wait any longer than 3-5. That is just a fact nowadays. Attorneys/legislators have no morals nor ethics.
