Yeah, that makes sense. Thinking about it more, I suppose one could compare it to my having gone to Disneyland several times over the last 15 years... Why go to Disneyland when you can just actually go to the places its based on? Tiki culture is different from visiting actual Polynesian islands, and if you're more into Tiki culture and everything Tiki culture represents for you, then yeah, go for it!

Some good points have been made. But my perspective is "Hawaii" versus "same sort of tiki event(s) a number of years in a row." Mixing it up by visiting a bit of some of the purported roots of tiki is something not to be missed because you get such different and great experiences for your bucks. I'm talking about straying from what could be a rut. It's a whole different magnitude of experience (if you don't encounter travel hell in airports and hotels, lol...)
