Monocacy pretty much nailed it.. Premium plastic does shoot through chains more often... I don't have much to add other than a ramble...
Personally I actually putt more with 167g premium plasma envy and use a baseline soft 172-174g electron for straighter drives. My plasma envy have changed very little in 6+ yrs, I have a stack of about 10 that are identical... the thing I like is the clean release and the extra bit of fade especially for 40' (or less) tap ins.
My hand however prefers the soft electron but it's a little too grippy.. If I had the option years ago when I bought my plasma stack I might have gone baseline instead. Now it's kind of a battle because part of me wants to use them more and they are deadly from 40' out since their flight is much straighter. The grip in wet conditions is a plus, but I need to adjust about 6-10" to compensate.
The wear cycle on a baseline plastic is a wonderful thing, start a cycle with a few and you can cover a lot of shots. If you have one you putt with for years it will be tough to replace if tragedy strikes. If you have a backup baseline that's close you can use it for driving for a month or so and it will beat in to where you need. Especially with premium MVP/Axiom discs, they take forever to show any difference in flight. Once I get one where I want, it gets relegated to the competition bag and I work in another one in my practice rounds.
I like both options, either way it's good to have 2 or 3 of your putters in the bag to lower your score, make warm ups easier and compensate for different conditions/shots.
It really is a feel thing, if it feels good it inspires confidence.
