Yes that's a viable solution, to just accept the Repugnant Conclusion. As I discussed in my first post I think it's very hard to compare any existence to non-existence, as it depends on whether you exist to make the consideration. At least when the person already exists, the way I would do it is to consider type 1 the measure of type 2. I.e. they are the same to me.
