Yes, but how are you to measure comparable levels of the two? It seems like when making a decision, realism should be a factor as well.

You can compare it against a gradient: Offer some amount of money and have someone choose between the prevention of some pain or some pleasure. Then start comparing some type of pleasure X1 plus some amount of money Y (where Y can be negative) against greater pleasure X2, the amount of money at which they start taking X1 and Y over X2 represents the difference between them.
