Are you in a situation where you are trying to decide on whether or not to purchase a Premium theme? It depends on your goals for the site. Do you want a site that looks slick or are you happy to have something which looks average to good? Do you intend to make money from your site or do you just want to blog away?
If you just want to blog, then probably a free theme is sufficient. However, if you really do want to make money then a good premium theme with support is going to help a lot. I made the decision to purchase a premium theme after doing a lot of searching and evaluation of the various premium themes around. The theme I chose has really helped me to start making money from my site and the support (which has been invaluable) has enabled me to set up the site the way I want it with affiliate ads, slick design and easily customizable pages from the admin area.
Some people say that Premium themes aren't worth it, but I couldn't disagree more. Sure, there are some pretty crappy premium themes out there, but if you use your head a bit you can usually avoid the bad ones. When looking for a good premium theme I recommend going through the forums and comment pages on the theme you are thinking of buying. You can usually get a good indication on how good the theme is by reading the various comments from real users. If you can't find any comments then you are probably better off staying away. There are more and more high quality (and some unfortunately low quality) premium themes as well.
There are usually three types of Premium themes available - single site, multiple site and developer license, although some sites just have either single site or developer licenses. In many cases you would normally go for the multiple license unless you are certain you will only use the theme for one site. If you are a developer, obviously you would want to choose the developer's license. If you want more tips and get a review of the best premium sites feel free to visit my site.
