[Avodah] beautifying the mitzvas.....priorities in spending??

[Rich, Joel]

But (and this is how I understood the original question) should we be working on reprioritizing our relative love of various mitzvos? *Ought* hiddur mitzvah be more important to me than the mitzvah itself of tzedaqah?

Tir'u baTov!

This would imply-even in your narrowed definition-that there would never be any spending on hiddur mitzvah. But I'll go you one better-why spend money on being a baal nefesh rather than giving it to tzedaks.
