which has a better Prince audience: Paisley Park or Club 3121?

Maybe I am biased because I live in the Twin Cities but, after reading some of the reviews of the 3121 shows, it seems as if the 3AM $7 crowd at Paisley Park are/were a lot more receptive to Prince's onstage small club atmosphere musings than the Vegas crowds shelling out the big bucks and hoping for "little red corvette". Thoughts? Anyone?

I could only fairly judge if I had been to both, but on balance I tend to be a lot more receptive to paying $19.99 than $312.10

Let me rephrase: It seems that at Paisley Park the fans who showed up were more of the hardcore fan base as opposed to Vegas/tourist types of folks who, I assume, mostly come to hear Prince play Purple Rain. Agree or no?
