Ah, you mention some interesting points that I hadn't really considered. My original reaction was "3 weeks," but then I thought I would round out my answer.
And I was mostly considering the question funds not withstanding, to treat it objectively. If I ever actually got the opportunity to go, money would certainly restrict my stay.
It's encouraging to think that "less is more," so to speak.
