I watched some of the other "Engine Masters" episodes on Youtube and I like what they do. It's unbiased and cuts through the crap. In another of their videos I was shocked to find that full roller rockers compared to stamped steel rockers add little to nothing in HP and torque and the little bit they add is only around 6000 RPM.
I saw that one, too. I guess we're just a bunch of suckers, willing to pay for mental horsepower. I will placate myself with the certainty of reduced wear, for longer life, with my roller tip rockers.

The way I see it is if you are running aluminum heads you have to run roller rockers so at that point they might as well be full roller. Other than that what that video showed me is there is no reason to "upgrade" stock heads to a roller rockers.

Those are just headman shorties for a Mustang and a 302
