changing to ascend theme?

hi i was wondering if the ascende kadence theme is better prepared for shops? i am working with virtue free version theme right now and just purchased the membership for premium themes. but would like to know if you recommend moving to ascend and what exactly would it give me…i have seen some demos and many thing i liked, like the mobile menu appearing on the side and the way homepage can be arranged showing prodct categories best sellers credic cards and . a lot of things…is all that possible with viertue premium? would you please explain me differences between virtue premium and ascend premium??
thanks!
