Everything else is equal except for self guide... for the tiny extra cost of $200, self guide is worth having as an option... Though its not necessary, its nice to have the choice... Its like going to the pub.. whilst there is no need for them to have 10 different beers on tap, it sure is nice to know you can choose what you want...
But here you are comparing having a selection of one extra beer in two different Sizzlers restaurants when you could be having a choice, all be it one type of beer less, at Doyles by the Sea across the road (but at little extra cost in the CCD analogy)... if you just remember it is there through all the Sizzler hype
