We used to buy the deluxe level, which had some blackout dates but the least.

Also, I think only the premium has the 20% discount and I think it's only at certain restaurants (sit-down ones).

Last time we had passes, which was in 2003, it was only an additional $10 to upgrade your pass from a one-park pass to a two-park pass. DCA was still brand new then, so they may all be two-park passes now. I'm not sure, but that's certainly something else you can check out. I don't know if they still sell Disneyland Park-only passes. I'm guessing probably not, but ask.

Something else the premium had that the others don't was free parking - with the other passes you had to buy a parking pass, which was $35 last time we purchased it (and you only need to buy one parking pass per family - we would put it on our son's pass so that either of us could take him without the other and still get parking)

that is some good thinking!! I always put the parking on my husbands pass because he was almost always driving, but a couple times I went with just me and the kids (now since I am getting divorced It will always be just me and the kids) and I had to pay for parking!
