International high-end properties are often the best values. Currency exchange rates are also a factor for foreign properties.
Yes -- the third night is at $445 as of now. So the best value is to use points for that night (Switching hotels is not an option).

I agree with international high end properties being best value: Zurich, Seoul, Berlin and Kyoto are on my list this year!
