HHonors - 6 free nights at a Hawaiian resort is 175,000 pts
SPG - 6 free nights at a cat.5 Hawaiian resort (ex. Westin Maui) is around 74,000 pts (redeeming two awards (1 free night and 5th night free), assuming max pts needed)

Not sure where you are goin' with this comparison, but the HWV is not in the same league SPG Cat 5 Hawaiian properties. Better comparison would be any of the Cat 4 properties (which IMO are still far better than the HWV) - 40,000 for 5 nights, plus 10,000 for 6th night + 50,000 SPG total.
