R&C is a bit better but you totally miss the visuals on the "Stargate".... I have done both and won't spend the money on these again (unless the new fireworks show doesn't rely on being front and center). I thought the view from Spice Road was terrible. I was seated at the two tops which are behind the 4 tops on the rail. I had a pole in my way and I was closer to the building and some elements were blocked. I've been able to get great viewing spots about 45 min to showtime (high-top festival table by Japan). I get some food and beverages from the food booths, relax and enjoy.
