Yes, probably more than the AF in most cases.
To give you an example, I will be staying at the Aloft Myeongdong in Seoul, SK that costs about $125, 7k SPG points, or 3.5k+$55 per night for a basic room. It's a brand new hotel that just opened this year in a prime downtown location. So 10k points is worth close to $150-200, more in other cases.
