It's the ease of customization that matters, especially for people who aren't familiar with HTML and CSS. The premium themes I've looked at enable you to rearrange columns and typefaces/fonts,for example, by checking off a couple of boxes. The other important piece of this particular puzzle is that premium theme sellers offer a degree of support and will explain to you just what you need to do tocustomize their themes. Susan,

I actually did find one "free" theme I liked better than all of them though (and I have tested and tried them all just about!)

When choosing a Wordpress theme I look at things like layout, navigation and legibility, but I also like to look "under the hood" if possible. The code should make good use of heading tags to support proper SEO techniques. Unfortunately, sometimes you can't tell until it's too late. The Revo themes do a pretty good job. Even when starting with a premium theme, it can take a lot of work to spruce up the theme and get it running the way I like -- installing plugins, adding specific author and category pages, tweaking the css. "Premium" doesn't necessarily mean it will work straight out of the box. I’ve used the Revolution Two themes for several projects and they provide a good foundation for a site.

Even a year or two ago there wasn't nearly that many premium themes. The look of a website matters a lot to me when going to a site and it could really payoff to have a premium theme. When people come to your site, you have a very limited time to really sell them on what they immediately see. Great article, I’ve been thinking about this quite a bit.
