For me it's a question of "world's best climates vs. world's worst climates". I will say that I wouldn't enjoy the UV radiation and altitude sickness in a place like Quito. But anything is better than the sheer climatic horror of somewhere like Grytviken, even if I have to purchase oxygen and avoid the sun altogether.
BTW, I don't think Scotland or NI qualify as Subpolar except for the northernmost parts.

Same for me. Oceanic rates D or lower while highland (sub)tropics can get an A. Especially with swimmable water nearby (tropical island like Java). yet still manage cool/mild weather year round (cf. Dieng/Lembang)
i pick Oceanic (Ireland/Scotland) over Tropical Highland mostly because high altitude and the strong sun isn't good long term, and the british isles are not that bad of a climate... you guys act like the sun never comes out lol
on the other hand i would rather have Tropical Highland over a real Subpolar/Subarctic climate like Iceland.
i can't vote because i refuse to pick Subpolar vs anything other than Polar and i refuse to pick Highland over Oceanic.
