The bonuses are actually far more important than the points. An extra 240 points is enough to swing from Turmoil-3 to Order-3 (about a 50% gold boost), but an Impossible AI gets a 100% gold boost on top of that. Same thing for gems and research, the AI bonus is worth way more than anything you could buy with points.
