That round was an outlier indeed, but it may still be useful as a sample..
For example;
the planet with highest value in top 10, and also Xan, did not even make top 200 in value - in fact only 3 Xan planets managed to rank in top 100 on both Score and Value

While i do agree that any attempts at reaching some form of balance is best focused on stats im less inclined to agree that the viability of going value for Xan is a balance issue in the first place.
The reverse holds true, that it would be a factor to balance around and as such an issue for balance, but at the bottom its still a matter of options and choices within the game (not by default equal, but being more than theoretical at least).
At this point i personally chose* to remain cautiously optimistic towards any changes that promotes options for diversity within the individual races.
*meaning i know that it might very well end up biting me in the ass
