Inquiring minds may wonder, what is the approximate point advantage of 8lbs over 2 miles?

Sorry if I am a dunderhead, but I just want to be sure I understand right -- it is 1.6 points at all distances.....not only 2 miles as the original poster asked, right?  The thing that changes over distance is the conversion between points and lengths, right?

Apologies if this is to primitive.  Thanks
