I think this is a fair statement.
In my opinion it's a matter of preference.
We keep 8 wire outfits on the boat - 6 do not have roller tips, 2 do. The 2 with them have been relegated to back up duty at this point. I personally haven't seen an appreciable difference in performance. I see the rollers as one more piece of maintenance, and with the number of days we spend on the water and the abuse the tackle takes - maintenance becomes a tangible factor.
I don't think we need to go all "online résumé" here, but I think it's safe to say I'm giving an opinion based on a significant sample size.
Most of the magazines and such will routinely state that roller tips are standard for wire - when I look around the other regular charter boats that we work with in cc bay, I'd say its 60/40 in favor of rollers vs standard.
To each his own - good luck to you this season.
