Analyze away but it is hard for me to see any reason to buy the most expensive house in any neighborhood.  The cheapest house will be ok but may prove disappointing.  The middle ground is the sweet spot in any “real estate” analysis.

And therein lies the "circuit breaker" for many of these point-to-point comparisons.

 

Sure, SB (and other luxury lines) may offer more for suite cruisers than HAL. But for those of us who would never consider booking a suite, it is a non-starter.
