Hi Basher,
I added a picture of the components and a description of the kits for all to see. I checked the prices for a 9' 5wt rod in both kits. There was only 15 dollars different between the two kits. You get the same blank but better components in the Premium Kit. For $15 I would get the Premium Kit.
