Are these Wusthof knives legit/decent?

So I hit ten years at my company and they gave me credits to spend at an awards store. They are shady in that they don't give me any actual item number or anything. I have used Classic Wusthof knives before and they are awesome, but the "points" needed for these are the same as other items that typically retail for $40 or $50 dollars which makes me concerned these are some crappy version "Gourmet" as the picture on the site shows or "Classic" as in the description. Classics appear to be $170 for the chef knife versus $100 for the "Gourmet". Does anyone know anything about "Classic" verus "Gourmet" (I've read the difference but looking for hands on reviews)? Are they great knives either way? I just don't want to get the Gourmet version and be severely disappointed when its not at all what I am expecting. Here is the online description:

Classic knives are precision forged with full tang. Made of high carbon stainless steel. Sharper blade with more edge retention. Highly durable POM handle with triple-rivets. Full bolster and finger guard. Recommend hand wash only. Includes 4" utility knife and 8" cook knife.
