Open packs or save for airdrop points?

Hey y'all,
I'm new to Splinterlands, so I'm looking for some advice. I just bought some Chaos Legion packs which went on sale today, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to maximize my Airdrop points. I found this interesting calculation about how much collection power to expect from opening a pack:

https://www.splintertalk.io/@yoog/how-much-collection-power-does-a-splinterlands-chaos-legion-pack-give-on-average

...but the average doesn't look to be better than the 600 points per sealed pack. While the collection power would increase, and there's a possibility of getting some saleable cards, it's hard to decide on which path to take.

If you could share your experience doing one or the other, that would be great!

Also, hopefully the packs update at the next Airdrop, because right now I'm not getting credit for my purchase :(

One more thing to consider is that airdrop cards will be available in packs after they have been revealed. I heard rumors that there's going to be legendary summoners coming from the airdrop. Legendary summoner will definitely be worth more than an average legendary so it might be a good idea to wait that you have a chance to get them from packs as well.

Okay, so those legendary summoners aren't normal cards and they provide a different value of airdrop point? Hmm, I'll take that into account, especially since I'm only getting 300 points per sealed pack. Not sure why that's different than what the whitepaper says...
