The unfairness of playing on a home site of one of the teams and the risk that we don't send our best team are the two good arguments not to have a tournament at all.
I see no good argument to have a tournament that is played at home courts. Zero. You don't do that just for the 3.7 point (I don't know if it's even that high--it's the perception more than anything else). Playing on a neutral court is a possibility, but you pay much more and no matter what the love may be for a casino (I hate them myself), it's no substitute in atmosphere for the Palestra. Only NYC makes any sense to me, for marketing sake.
