O.K., so I was reading Trader Vic's Tiki Party book by Stephen Siegelman. In the Rum "Rundown" section he states that you can substitute a spiced rum for Demerara. I have never had Demerara so I am blissfully ignorant of what I'm missing out on. Either way, this sounds horribly misguided given everything I have read here.

What tastes the most similar?

If I WAS to use a spiced rum as a substitute, which one would you recommend? (I still haven't found one bottle of lemon hart or El Dorado)
