An organization with resources under an LRSA may opt to switch to 
registration services plan, but it would only cover the resources under
that agreement.

You get billed according to the terms of each agreement you have with 
ARIN, based on the resources and services received.  At present, you 
have two agreements and pay for registration services for the respective
resources under each agreement.  Under the present fee schedule, 
switching either of these to a registration services plan is unlikely to 
make much sense given the relatively small number of resources under 
each.  As I previously noted, you could consolidate and then opt for
a registration services plan - this would provide you one relationship
with ARIN (including ARIN membership) but it would appear the total 
fees would be larger than you presently pay for end-user and legacy 
maintenance fees.

Thank you for the questions – these are quite likely to be of help to 
others reading as well!
