I would agree that a K-factor for a 90 degree rolling turn in intermediate be very low but in advanced, I would like to have much better scores due to a good roller than the guy that simply does not know how to do one, hence higher K-factor. That said, I will continue to try to do good rollers as I need to improve them but I will certainly look for other maneuvers as the ones to pratice so to get better overall scores.

If the K-factors have been increased for the rollers, then they must have been very low since the K-factor for advanced roller is only 13.

Anyway, I agree that the K-factors used should come from the FAI catalog so that eliminates the arguing. I was just wondering why some harder maneuvers pay less.
In the past the K Factor for rollers was doubled. And increased by a factor of 1.5 fro tail slides. Now they are as published in the FAI Catalog.
