I have a Puretrak Talent here to show, and the bigger differences to put it short are:
Friction:
It is smoother, the smoothest clothpad I’ve used in fact. I suppose this would come down to preference for most people, but I prefer the feeling over the rougher cloth mats. It's illogical to want to have put more work to go the same distance at the same speed as a smoother pad. It seems to keep it cleaner too, easier to just brush off stuff that gets on it.
Size:
The Puretrak Talent is thicker than my Fatpad and about the same as a Qck Heavy. My Fatpad wasn’t thick enough to make a large bump in my wooden desk go away, so it’s nice to have.
It’s also around an inch bigger on each side, which is negligible but nice for the lowest sens players.
Quality:
The Puretrak logo is out of the way and doesn’t have any feeling if you roll your mouse over it.
The edges don’t feel like sandpaper if you have your wrist on it, and no stringy pieces coming off of it.
It doesn’t reject Deathadders like the Qck Heavy. (not quite sure what's up with it doing that, the stitching of it?!)
Big Picture:
The differences in clothpads aren’t very big. All of the popular ones are around the same size, within the same price range, etc. I would say the Puretrak Talent is definitely the best out of the ones I’ve used (Besides the Goliathus, I've tried most popular cloth pads) though, and there's isn't a reason why you shouldn't get the best if it's for the same price.

You get better control over your mouse with more friction... the slippier your mousepad is, the lower you'll have to put your sensitivity.
Now smoother to the touch and smoother feel with your mouse are completely different. I'm not sure which one you mean but if it's rough to the touch your mouse feet will probably come into contact with the surface of the pad less, thus making the movement smoother with less friction - which in my opinion is a very bad thing.
