I might guess that the base aether is based on how long the specific instance typically takes, and that the bonus aether is based on trying to make it so that each of the four roulettes gives roughly the same total aether once per day assuming some typical amount of base aether.
Unfortunately, the Alliance Raid roulette has the most disparity when it comes to run times, and hence the most disparity in base aether.
We can go always back to buying 9 books like in ARR times, which would cost each 1500 Heliometry if we tack on the their cost on release and adjust it to the currencies we got now.

So yes, this is rather easy.
My FC does Roulettes every evening on Weekdays at 7PM - Alliance, Trial and Normal Raid. Now we tack on High-End afterwards as a optional activity which people group with eachother on their own.
Nothing big changes for us. Good to be in a proper, active Free Company to benefit from, huh?
WE DON'T CARE if they are SNOWFLAKES and get MAD., not all players are FEMENINE and sensitive. I'm a MASCULINE and STRONG they can quit the game and go back to American World of Clowns blizzard. We don't care about feelings we want to PLAY and make the game PLAYABLE. this is entertainment not reality and take it seriously.
The Alliance roulette bonus is lower than the others for some reason. Since Crystal Tower raids are likely to pop more, then what the OP says is correct. The other roulettes provide 600+ bonus points but the Alliance bonus is less than a third of this, iirc
Nothing like queuing up for alliance raid roulette and not having any control over what you get then get punished for getting Labyrinth of the Ancients for a 3rd day in a row.
If I get it tomorrow I'm just going to leave and eat the 30min ban.
Once like Labyrinth of the Ancients are 374 bonus... Friend of mine got Thaleia (3rd EW raid) and got about 800 for a bonus. It's 100% on how new the raid is. So with the roulette being RNG, if you get Labyrinth of the Ancients then you're in short getting punished for something that's out of your control.
M3N gave less than 200pts while E12N gave more than 200pts. I'd like to bet it's a mix between old-new and average estimated clear time.
TAPB for example gives 999pts while Jeuno didn't even reach 800pts.
What I am doing is that I just aim for a daily personal quota of 800 per element, if I don't get 800 in one roulette, we go again, and again, and again, until the quota is met, I started to feel which instance I get doesn't matter, the bonus is nice but it is static, I can just go again as much as I need to until I am satisfied.
