Interesting that the bring back with vertical is 5000 lbs, while with rolling it is 7000 lbs + additional fuel.
It does not seem to me to be such a significant difference?

It is not only the cash benefit, but the non- loss of an item of which the ship has a limited supply. If we were still reliant on iron bombs and had several magazines full of them then maybe throwing them away is tolerable. The same is not true of, say, AIM 120 or something even newer.
