Hi Chris,
The difference between the cheapest skis and hire levels includes their age, but it also includes the stiffness of the ski, the material it's made out of and can also include different styles (eg. carving/freeride/freestyle). In general, the first two levels of skis are mainly different just in how old they are. However, if you go to the middle level, you do get a higher quality ski. The top two levels are more for those who want the very best and particular brands as well.
I hope that helps! Please let me know if you have any further questions.
