The Kh1/Kf1 position I am not so sure about, as a pure evaluation term. Whether the king is better on h1 or f1 could well be a fine balance of risk between the opponent's attacking force and having the king in the centre for the ending. The set of weights and positional factors that lead to Kf1 in one position to be good, may be bad in others. I suppose the only answer would be match play and we are unlikely to get that, regretably.
