I cannot imagine that on top of getting there slower, your access would be further restricted or in fact reduced. That would definitely feel like a set back, in fact it would probably feel as if SOE is punishing you for stopping to give them money.
Punishing players for stopping to sub in that sense would not make them eager to return to a subscription as they'd feel cheated and forced back into purchasing a subscription.
As for what else you could get for a premium account? How about access to PlanetSide 1?

Having more skills or been able to buy them would mean you're more versatile, side grades and different weapons attachments also do not grant more power, perhaps to a specific playstyle they would, but they also have their downsides, so they offer no overall increase in power. Most people and the devs agree with that.
