DVC question

[sprocket]

Have never really looked at renting DVC points and just started reading. I put our dates into Daves DVC and it says our AKL stay would be $1650 compared to our standard hotel booking direct with Disney for about $600 more.
For future stays, should I look at staying DVC by renting points instead of booking a standard hotel reservation? Are there any advantages of hotel reservations over DVC? I have read room cleaning is different, but anything else?

There are a few differences.
The big one.

No free dining

Rooms have a bed plus a sofa bed. They also have a kitchenette.

You get trash and towel after 4 days and a full clean once a week.
