Actually Transformation Packs is a complete solution which will modify your system files (of course you can revert back) to give you more native experience, where UX pack, as it sounds, will not modify system files, rather give you mentioned User Experience in limited form.

Also, UX Packs has slightly smaller installer size than Transformation Packs.

Verdict
From my experience, I really appreciate the way it works. I didn't find any noticeable RAM or processor compromisation, nor speed issue during my use of either of the theme packs. I am sure you will like them. However, altering an OS or it's design to pretend to be another OS is never a good idea.
