It depends how much time for chess you, 6 hours a week is not that much. Is your goal to go from 1400-1700

There are a few nice features from the premium but I don't think it will necessarily improve your chess strength.  I have the premium but I would say I just got it to have a more pleasent chess.com experience, not to help me get stronger.  There are a lot of things you can buy to try to get stronger: books, chessbase, engines, etc. but what you really need to get stronger is determination and unfortunately you cant buy that.  Cry
