Hi Chuck,
Having been to both CF and AE, I agree with your comparison of those two. On the question of decor, we enjoyed CF equally to AE.
Another category that I would add is Degree of Nudity. CF was better in that respect as almost all guests were fully or partially nude and nudity was allowed and encouraged anywhere on the property (except at the dining table during meals). At AE, fewer guests were nude and it was discouraged in the main public level of the house.
I would visit either again, but I hope we feel we can spend the extra for CF.
