As Titanium, you can reasonably expect to be offered a Grand Tower junior suite, a real suite with full separation between living and bedroom. I would consider the upgrades roughly equal, the smaller size of the junior suite offset by the overall fresher feel of the building it's housed in, though the Large Suite is a really nice room and a fantastic upgrade if you're lucky enough to get it. Grand is mostly shielded from the sun by the bigger Main tower, which has a southwest facing side -- a position best avoided in the hotter (ie., most) months. Tiny detail, but I prefer the Grand's direct elevator access to the club lounge (as opposed to the 6-7 steps to the lounge entrance from the usually more crowded main tower elevator) especially during the morning rush towards Saigon Kitchen -- the one Bonvoy restaurant breakfast in the city I will always avoid in favor of the Club Lounge offering.
