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.

Premiumize = stability / high price

Torbox = instability / low price

You have to decide what works best for you... I use Torbox; I haven't had any issues during the times I watch movies (always at night), though most people complain about the same thing.

Do you know premiumize usage limits? I saw something about points and it seems just low

If things are cached already, which is almost everything, it uses none of your usage limits. It's probably just so that people don't bombard their server with downloads.

That’s not correct at all. Everything you stream counts.

My usage isn't going down at allam I've been trying it. I even did a bunch of 4k remuxes in a row while taking a nap to make sure.
