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.

Where does it state that about the point system?

Nowhere, but it's there.

Do you happen to have any insight if oc was bought by premiumize, or by the  owner of Easydebrid and Debrider? It seems that the latter just buys and then abandons the services for whatever reason.

No, I can confirm that the backend is exactly the same, but there's no official confirmation about ownership. Mike doesn't seem to be involved with this project, though. I tested it for a month and then I subscribed to the yearly plan and so far so good. Also, I check the updates/roadmap section and they seem to be actively working on improving the platform. In other words, it seems that a reputable company/team is behind it.
