I would be interested in reading more about your implementation of this points system ~ Its an interesting area.

A fun technique i came across recently was 'Planning Poker' for agile estimating.

How to Play Planning Poker

Have you tried a wide range of estimation techniques?

The author mentions "points" but he is speaking about data points on charts rather than estimation units. I think the "point" of the experiment was to show that story level estimates (presumedly in hours) were reasonably accurate without breaking the stories down into tasks and estimating time at the task level.
