Your morsel of BS misses some features of the Premium, that make it a better game. Huge GI lighting differences, More RGB inserts and the drop target in front of Starchild to name a few. The real ball lock is much more exciting when it releases MB (3 balls in about 2 seconds), instead of launching the ball from the shooter lane one at a time. Twitchy Paul is lame. Is it a completely different game? No. Is the premium a better and more complete game? Yes. Code Ver 1.04 made the gap much wider.
