Are these paid for courses significantly better than the free MOOC courses? If so, how?

Yes, but in a different way and for a different audience.

Videos from folks like Peepcode and Tekpub are useful for experienced developers who need to pick up an ancillary technology or a specific technique specific to tools they already use quickly. MOOCs are more for learning big picture concepts over a longer period of time.
