I believe the Ultra will be faster when opening apps.
The Ultra has Dolby Vision, if your tv supports that.
The Ultra has a WiFi remote that doesn't need line of sight, meaning you can hide it away.
The Premiere remote doesn't have volume buttons or voice search. You can download the Roku app and use that as your remote instead, which will solve all the remote problems I've listed. In fact, I haven't used a remote in years. It's too easy to just pull up the app on my phone or turn the tv on or off using HomeKit.
It appears they're both dual band WiFi, which means they should be able to stream without buffering. I would imagine the Ultra would still be more likely not to have buffering.
I have Apple TVs, but I just got a Roku tv, and I've found myself using the Roku more than I thought. It's a very easy to use interface. The ads are a bit annoying. I just bought this one to add to another tv just to stream The Weather Channel. If I planned on using a Roku as my main source of entertainment, I'd go for the Ultra for that $30 price. $16 for this Roku Premiere is a no brainer to buy now. I'll also always encourage people to dump Cable TV, cable boxes, and Comcast/Xfinity. Hope this helps.
However, the Ultra LT comes with a wifi "point anywhere" remote that has voice search and a headphone jack and generally cost ~$20 by itself.
If you've ever used the Roku TV remotes or other "simple" Roku remotes, they can be a real pain.

I already bought a backup remote for our Roku TV for $20. It has a power button for the TV. The remote for this sale Premier does not have a power button.

And it can be cheaper, or just a few dollars more, to purchase an entirely new Roku with remote than to order just a replacement remote.
I lost my Roku remote years ago and it still hasn't turned up. No problem - I'll just use the TV remote for power and volume and the app to control the actual Roku, right? That system worked just fine until replaced my Wi-Fi router and needed to enter the new password into my Roku to add it to my network. That's the one function I absolutely needed a Roku remote to complete.
At the time, I only had one Roku - so only one (lost) Roku remote - and I had to borrow a family members remote, just to enter my new Wi-Fi password. 🤦🏼
I used my Roku Streaming Stick for 3 years and especially after the latest RokuOS update, the Xfinity Stream app's channel guide takes a long time to load. Scrolling through the channel guide only works only after waiting 30-60 seconds, then scrolling one channel at a time while waiting 5 or so seconds in between. If I scroll too fast the channel guide seems to be stuck loading (I've waiting 5 mins before giving up). For what it's worth, other streaming services are fine (just takes some time to startup).
I picked up the 2022 Ultra LT from Walmart 2 days ago and the Xfinity Stream app works fine after initial loading (less than 10 seconds). Channel guide is really responsive and I can scroll through it as fast as I want..and the channel schedule updates very very quickly. I do have it connected via Ethernet, so not sure if that makes any difference. Other streaming services starts up slightly faster than my old Roku.
For what it's worth, I did buy an 2022 Apple TV to see how the Xfinity Stream app will work. The deal breaker for me is at random times, the Xfinity Stream app will complain about my cable service so either I can't watch any channels or only certain channels won't load. I know while it's not Apple's fault, but I never had this problem with my old Roku. That and $150 vs $30… Ended up returning the Apple TV.
The main thing the "full" Roku Ultra and Apple TV has is Atmos support. I just found out I can get a pair of Sony Atmos speakers for about $125 so I'm tempted to return my Ultra LT and wait for an Ultra deal. But then I don't know how much I'd be able to tell the Atmos effect. My current home theater setup is 5.1 and most of the time I can barely tell the actual surround effect unless it's specific movies like one of the Spider-Man BluRay disc.
I guess they expect you turn off the device with manual power switch...volume control to use your TV remote....
