The roller tip only rockers are mostly a gimmick. Their only real advantage comes not from the roller tip (which by one estimate would need to be a 2" diameter roller to duplicate a stamped steel rocker), but from the more accurate ratio; stock stamped steel rockers often have less than advertised ratios and this means less than advertised lift, and a good chance of less peak performance. | The roller tip only rockers are mostly a gimmick.
