Well I compared it to another similar service out on the market and that would be CoD Elite. That's a yearly subscription service just to track your stats(We get that free with BL) and cheaper DLC. Elite doesn't give any new weapons, camos, challenges, etc. IF Premium is a one time charge like EA said last year, then when BF4 comes out we get all of those DLC free as well making it that much better.
4 DLC(not counting B2K since that came free with Limited Edition) is still $10 cheaper with Premium instead of buying them separate for $60. Yeah you don't know which type of maps you're getting, but it's the same as any other pre-order...you never know if the full game will be good based on the trailers and screens shown. Besides, I personally found more value in the new guns than I did with some of the map packs(B2K and AK).
