Is West Timor worth visiting for 4 days after a Lombok-to-Flores boat trip if you don't surf?

Based on the discussion, West Timor feels broadly similar to Flores around Labuan Bajo, but drier. For a short 4-day stop, it may be a marginal choice, especially if surfing is not your main reason to go.
