If it helps, we will be staying at the Sheraton FIRENZE in FLorence and the Sheraton Roma in Venice. Both are on points and I know the Westin in Florence is to die for but 4k vs 16k per night (high season for this hotel) makes it impossilbe to choose anything else).
Thanks for any suggestions and insights

Ouch. I'd say go for the three days in Venice. Florence is probably a *little* easier to power-tour than Venice.
