renting convertibles @hawaii

So I will be in Hawaii the last 2 weeks of december, and was looking to rent a car there.

I could use 8000 pts for a 1 week anytime rental at HNL, which will get me a specialty car(Chrysler 200 or similar), which will total about $110 in taxes.
or I can just use my CDP and pay about $225 a week for a full size car.

What kind of convertibles are known to be rented at HNL? For using 8000 pts, doesn't seem much savings having to still pay 110 in tax. Especially compare to the full size rental of 225 a week?

Worth it?

Also, my 2nd week will be in the Big Island, and at KOA, the convertible rental is 4000 pts, and about $55 in taxes.
Same question, what sort of convertibles are usually given out at KOA?
