It's like prefering a location 1 kilometer underwater in a pitch-black ocean to a spot on ground level with sunlight when colonising a planet.

I think that with artifactal biosphere and lighting, the enviroment will be not so horrible, if you create a false greenhouse biosphere...
And you can see the Sun when it is between the clouds.
And my base is utilitarian and don't think I will enyoy (by your qualities, for me, every celestial body is unique and interesting) arthrosis on the Mars or the Moon.I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT VACATON, you will not get as much from the Moon or Mars as from Venus.
