Fair enough - I avoid them like the plague so I didn't think of them.

Also agreed. I found MR easier as they always have properties where I travel. I've has a few years stationed in locations without SPG's, so I need to cram in SPG stays through hopping and promos during a 2 month period. But I have 110-125 nights to spread around. A 50 night traveler obviously will find SPG easier.
