Been using Quickbooks Premier Edition 2005 - skipped 2006 update. Will it make much difference if we use 2007 or is the cost rather steep considering the upgrade benefit?

If you need my approval then go for it. Then again I'll be playing Gears of War tonight not Halo. Nothing but the cutting edge for this guy.
No one can attempt to help you without knowing how you use QB and what features you consider essential.

If 2005 satisfies all of your needs and you are not the type that feels the need to upgrade every year then you probably can skip the 2007 upgrade too. You will need to upgrade to 2008 if you are using the payroll service. If no payroll, then you could keep using 2005 for a long time.
Are there features that 2007 offers that are not in 2005? Probably. There were a lot of changes introduced with 2006 that you are already mising out on. They revised the UI (I love it), Start with this page to compare the
