Personally, I think that if points were REDUCED, it would take away the good climbing teams' strength and advantage in the game. But if the values were INCREASED, we'd see a lot of "tight" matches that come down to the climb.
It is hard to say for certain without having seen the game play out, but I feel that the balance in the point distribution is right around where it should be, which is why I feel there is such a split in teams approaches to the game.

Personally I would prefer that they remove this option from the manual entirely, the game balance is what it is at the start of the season, and teams make decisions based off of that scoring balance. I don't think that designs should become artificially better or worse after the fact through no direct action of the teams.
