It appears that Stern has kept with it's new metal speaker panel design first introduced with Star Trek as well as lighted speakers on the LE model. The premium model also sports a center racing stripe on the speaker panel which is a nice touch. It also appears that the Premium and LE models get a revised side-rail design.
Update: In addition to the differences in games it also appears that different versions will come with varying playfield artwork, an additional "crossover" ramp and more. In addition the return of 6-ball gameplay makes a return. Check the feature matrix sheet below for details.

Stern Pinball Is Now Offering its Mustang Pro Game, Mustang Boss
Premium Game And the 50-Years-of-Mustang Limited Edition Game
MELROSE PARK, IL - March 5, 2014 - Stern Pinball, Inc., the world's
oldest and largest producer of arcade-quality pinball games, proudly
announced today the availability of three Mustang pinball games. The
feature-rich Boss Premium and 50-Years-of-Mustang Limited Edition
machines will join Stern's Pro model, which was recently greeted by
rave reviews at the Chicago Auto Show. Handcrafted by Chicago's own
Stern Pinball, the Mustang-inspired games combine two icons of
American pop culture - pinball and Mustang.
Stern Pinball's Pro model, designed for arcades and other public
spaces, features Mustangs from the past five decades. The Boss
Premium model focuses on an array of Boss Mustang models while the
50-Years-of-Mustang Limited Edition machine is signed by the game
designer and contains exclusive commemorative game features and art
from the1965 original through the all-new 2015 Mustang GT. Each game
includes real Mustang sounds and a Sony Music soundtrack of eight
generational cruising tunes to give players the visceral experience of
driving a Mustang. The Boss Premium and 50-Years-of-Mustang Limited
Edition models feature genuine Ford Mustang chrome pony emblems on the
speaker display panels, unique art packages, additional drop targets,
an interactive turntable feature, a stainless steel crossing ramp and
eight color-changing LED shot arrows to lead players on a unique
racing experience.
The games incorporate a mix of classic pinball features and
cutting-edge technology to let players race with some of the greatest
Mustangs of all time and build a dream collection as they progress
through the game. The playfield invites players to go drag racing,
rallying, drifting and road racing as they string a series of shots
together in pursuit of a high score.
"Everyone at Stern is buzzing with excitement about the Mustang
games," said Gary Stern, Chairman and CEO of Stern Pinball, Inc.
"From the artwork and game features to the generational soundtrack,
we've created games that will make Mustang lovers, pinball fanatics
and collectors worldwide eager to take each model for a test-drive."
The Ford Mustang game continues the Stern Pinball tradition of
producing quality pinball machines for young and old. The company
traces its lineage to the 1930's in Philadelphia when Sam Stern
entered the business of operating pinball games. Sam subsequently
became part owner and president of Williams Manufacturing, a pioneer
in the pinball industry, and passed his lifelong enthusiasm for
pinball to his son, Gary, who founded Stern Pinball. Today pinball
remains one of the world's favorite pastimes.
