This has been the case for a while now (since the Avios scheme was folded - e-rewards made a sneaky devaluation then) It's not only 500 points more for 2k Avios, but in effect they cut the yearly early potential by 50% with the 30 days redemption interval in place. So a couple of years back it was 24k Avios/account/year for 78k points, lately it's been 12k Avios/account/year for 43k points.
