No.

For the comparatively few stays you plan on having, you could buy upgrades for yourself and still potentially come out ahead. The real debate is whether the SNAs are particularly valuable. If you're not already buying suite upgrades for yourself, that's a good sign that your internal price for suites isn't as much as the list price (so using that price isn't a good way of measuring "value" from a redemption).
