This is coming from someone who generally avoids W hotels.
I have mid-tier SPG and Hyatt status as well so I have considered the GH and W. I have had some fantastic GH stays, especially the GH in Tokyo, but the W for some reason seems to be priced significantly higher and I have a hard time believing a W will be worth it.
