We would return to The Upper House without a second thought. After all, it's just a 8 min taxi ride to the LMO and Amber. Of course, I could care less about pool/spa.

The Upper House is basically an Aman in anything but name (and lacks the pool/spa). I am sure if it were called Aman Hong Kong, a bunch of people on this forum would suddenly prefer it, too. Unless they want a pool/spa, perhaps. But even for a pool, I'd never want to stay at the corporate and sterile FS.

The only other hotel that might cause me second thought will be the new St Regis Hong Kong when it opens next year--since I have Marriott/SPG Ambassador elite status. But The Upper House is really tough to beat.
I loved the Upper House and would agree to its similarities to an Aman property. That said, when I'm staying in HK for 3 nights and MO is running a 3rd night free deal, making it 40% cheaper than TUH for a Harbour View Room, I'm going to at least try it out!
