I would like to understand whether it is truly worth paying more than double.

This financial decision is a family one.

Disclaimer…my kid is a Santa Clara graduate, and we paid almost four times as much for her to attend the school as her least costly acceptance option. As a family, we had no issue doing this. If we had had issues with the costs, we would not have allowed her to apply.

It sounds like you like all of these colleges for different reasons. Really, you probably can get a fine education at any one of them.

So…make some pros and cons lists about each school.
