Premium III : Draw. Lots of draw. Lots and lots and lots of draw.
Premium IV : Perfect. Just perfect. It has a draw that is very smooth and velvety, right in between Horsehide and Latigo.
IMO: Premium IV + Premium I = Best stropping setup ever.
Any other questions?
(All this information is thanks to Lynn letting me play with his strops, and my experience on my strops)
EDIT: From LEAST draw to MOST draw: Premium II < Premium I < Premium IV < Premium III
The III Had too much for me, it just pulled the razor too hard. The premium II has too slick of a surface, not enough draw. The IV is PERFECTLY at the bottom of my preferred draw, and the I is PERFECTLY at the top of my draw preference
