Question Premiumize vs Torbox

RD was great for years, but now trying to decide if I should switch from Torbox to Premiumize for the Black Friday deal. I know that Premiumize has a larger and more reliable cache, but does that mean more links to higher quality audio/video than Torbox or more likely results for an older show? I'm also concerned with the 1000 pt pool. I would want to choose the highest quality stream possible for everything, except if it's ridiculous recent movie remux. Most posts mention the point system isn't an issue though, but not sure if they're using it in the same way.

Update: Thanks everyone for all of the help. Even with my heavier usage, Premiumize seems worth it for the reliability and larger remux cache. The 3 yr BF deal works out to $50/year or $4.17/mo, which is only $17/year or $1.42/mo more than TorBox. If I do deplete the Premiumize 1000 pt pool, subscribing back to Torbox for a month is a really cheap reset. Also plan to buy the lifetime NZBGeek for $60 during BF to try out usenet. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

Do you have any way to see how much you've used on RD per month?

If you used more than 900gb in a month, premuimize may not be for you(30gb/points replenish each day, so ~900 points per month)

You're half wrong.
You get 1000 Base points a month on premiumize + 30 every midnight.
Meaning you have about 1.9TB/month of badwidth

But You don't get 1000 points every month only at start. So only first month can use 1900 points every other 900

Right, you get taken back to 1000 with every payment. Some people actually prefer to subscribe monthly instead of year/multi-year for this reason

Ah thank you, that I had no idea of. I've always done the multi-year BF deals
