Using 7K instead of 20K for the W will allow me to use the points I save towards redeeming for free nights in Stockholm (vs paying for it, as I would be now since I don't have enough points for both). Sheraton Stockholm is 12K per night... so basically I can redeem 35K on Element (5 nights at 7K per night + 1 free) and 56K in Stockholm (5 nights at Sheraton for Club level room with Breakfast) vs 100K on W and paying for a room at the new Best Western in Stockholm

Thoughts?
You could split your stay up in a few nights in WAmsterdam and a few in Element Amsterdam. So you have experienced the citycenter and also the suburb of Buitenveldert.
