#1 skill shortage is paceline riding". I was passing absolutely no judgment on its importance (one way or the other) except to observe that I don't have it, I ranked it first in the ordered list of deficiencies, and I am willing to consider rollers in order to improve it.

I think your original assessment was correct. Rollers will help smooth your pedal stroke and some prefer them over a trainer for indoor work but they aren't a substitute for riding in close proximity to others.
