I noticed Premiere had the following features that Pro does not. I have a
small construction company, can anyone comment? I am trying to find out if
the extra $250 is worth it.

(1) Create 100+ customizable reports, like Profit & Loss Statements and
sales reports, in two clicks (Industry Specific)
*Can anyone comment on how good Industry Specific is?

(2) Create sales orders and track back orders
*No Sales Orders in Pro ?

(3) Features designed for your industry
*What kind of features

Thanks

You are correct, there is no "Sales Order" in Pro version, nor is there a
number of other step up features.

Here is a comparison to look at

Without knowing more about your business it is hard to know what aspects of
premier would be useful to your company. You obviously are aware of a
Premier version for your industry
QuickBooks Premier Contractor
For majority of contractors who also:
a.. Track change orders
b.. Need to manage job costs and track job status
c.. Apply different billing rates for subs or employees
My experience with premier version is that they give you a customized menu
list, Possibly a the consolidates information, plus a number of specialized
reports. The extra 250 is worth it to me.
