No, it's simply not accurate to say that 9 stays is less than 18 nights. It totally depends on how long the stays are.
For me, 9 stays is easier because I do lots of overnights. But there are many here whose travel patterns are completely opposite, for example, consultants who typically do four or five night stays then go home for the weekend. For them, the SPG challenge would be MUCH easier.
