Melkote or Hosaholalu - what to choose?

wichy

Me and my friends are going to visit Sravanabelgola this November, and than continue to Mysore.
As we planning to start at 11 AM and can afford a taxi to Mysore, we would like to visit some places of interest in our way. Some researches gives me an idea about have a look at Lakshminarayana Temple at Hosaholalu (which, as I understand, is not a big de-tour from Sravanabelgola-Mysore road), or to visit Melkote (is's a bit more de-tour). As there is not too much info about both places in internet, could someone who been in those places gives me their opinion - should we choose Melkote or Lakshminarayana Temple at Hosaholalu (keeping in mind that the day before we'll have seen Halebid/Belure)? Or is it possible and worth it to visit both places on our way to Mysore?

Thanks in advance for all your opinions!!!
