Fair enough. IME, SPG simply has more amazing/stellar properties across the board than HHonors or Marriott, and more "unique" properties (case in point - Marqués de Riscal, Elciego).

Also, since the categories are based upon average nightly rates, some phenomenal properties in areas like Asia/S. Africa/S. America/E. Europe can be had for an absolute pittance on points.
