I agree. And adding on, this doesn't make him shallow either on the grounds that he is a dragon who is prone to greed (probably more than the average dragon) and the biggest is probably the best for him. Though in hindsight, he still valued it, he had to give it up in order to get what he ultimately wanted, something dragons will normally do.

So both are justified really; and it's not like they haven't been generous in the past. I see that people have forgotten about a Dog and a Pony Show where Rarity gave him a gem and Spike refused to eat it because it came from her. Plus I think Spike could care less about the gem as long as he gets to please his "gem".
