I have the opportunity to get 7 Home Premium for 30$.

Should I do a clean install to get Home Premium.


Essentially what I am asking is, what features will I be losing from going from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Home Premium

You will lose the ability to connect to a corporate domain (required to network more than 5 computers) and you will not be able to use Windows XP Mode (a feature you didn't really lose since it was never in Vista). You also will be required to do a clean install since Microsoft does not allow in-place upgrades of a higher-featured product to a lower-featured product (as in your Ultimate to Home Premium situation).
