Exactly - the HR Tokyo has a great location (and right across from the Hilton Tokyo). The HR Osaka looked great when I saw a Cat 2 in Japan, then I saw where it was and immediately crossed it off the list.
I'll stay on points when it is worth it, but convenience on a vacation is a major part of determining worth.
