Which of the two is a better deal? Something tells me that the cash option is preferable, but I cannot figure it out.

Here's to hoping there is a points-wiz in attendance in the forum

For 180 EUR or less, I can get 40k Carlson points under the stay 3 nights promo in conjunction with something else.

Another option is to buy Choice hotel points and do a points+cash award. It will come out cheaper than 2100DKK.

I'd try to use the 40k Carlson points before I would even consider paying 2100DKK for one night at that hotel.
