that is assuming you get a standard award. Hilton seems to be implementing a multi tier award system where one can't book a standard award if there are 'enhanced' awards available (i.e. suite award). If it was SPG's policy of a few k more in points for the upgrade, that would be one thing, but Hilton's enhanced awards (after standard awards are gone) are asking insane point levels (over double standard award rate).
I'm of the belief that once this system is full implemented, Hilton will drastically cut down on standard awards in an attempt to pluck HHonors members of their points.
