I just chose "50" to be illustrative, though I certainly understand your point. I know it's a very divisive property on this board -- I certainly fall into the "beyond overrated" camp. But, "different strokes" and all that ...
Back to the topic; I discussed with my wife last night, and (in general) she agrees with my assessment.
In short, I would spend some time exploring CR from various bases (Manuel Antonio, Monteverde, Puerto Viejo, etc etc), and then finish my trip with a stay at the FS.
