Civil War Pensions--which packet?

Now that the price has gone up for war records, I find myself wondering if the $75 full pension packet will be worth it. I see they have a pension packet for only $25 that gives you between 8-10 pages of genealogical value. I wonder just what I would be missing if I went the cheaper route? The pension I would be recieving is a widows pension applied for in 1920. Also the soldier i am looking at served 2 terms--one in the infantry and one in the cavelry.

As an afterthought--I see if you do order the $25 packet they will NOT tell you how many more pages there are. They will only say if there are more or not. I think with the price they are demanding now, they could at least say how many pages there are.

Any thoughts?
