Nutritionally, honey isn't that different from sucrose, so no. It's like the HFCS vs sucrose argument; they're basically the same, and you're still eating sugar.

I do actually buy local farm honey, though. It's incredible how you can see and taste difference in monofloral honey.

Mind explaining how it tastes different? I'm curious as to what the difference is.

Think of the difference between a Vienna sausage, bratwurst and chorizo.

Consistency, smell, flavor varies a lot, same for the honey depending on what the bees "ate".
