I think they're both off - I value Hilton points at $0.044. Now that the Diamond Force is no longer available, many aspirational properties are not available at the base Cat 7 rate, and many urban Cat 6/7 properties (or similar Starwood/Hyatt/Marriott properties) can be won on Priceline for under $200/night.
