It may seem attractive from a $ perspective, but until you know the full details it is impossible to compare.
I hear what you're saying. On further reflection though I have to ask myself how much of an improved rink I'm interested in paying for considering I'll maybe spend 10 evenings there a year. Viewed from a personal usage perspective, I think I would be fine with a still-crappy but not as crappy venue. Like flying economy on a three hour flight. Sucks, but gets you there and the extra expense just doesn't seem justified.
