Travel from Kyoto to Ise

Dear all,
I plan to visit Ise from Kyoto around the end of November. I prefer to take the Kintetsu limited express train.
My questions are:
1. Does it worth to pay extra for the Shimakaze? or regular limited express is alright?
2. For buying ticket and seat reservation, should I do in advance via internet or I can do it at the Kyoto Kintetsu station shortly before I leave for Ise?

Thank you for every answer.

Does it worth to pay extra for the Shimakaze?

If you like trains, yes. It is a very special train. Otherwise: possibly no.

For buying ticket and seat reservation, should I do in advance via internet or I can do it at the Kyoto Kintetsu station shortly before I leave for Ise?

There is a risk that the train is sold out. It depends on the date and train. So, if you travel on a busy date, an advance reservation (via internet or at a Kintetsu ticket counter) is recommended. But if the train is not booked out, it is also possible to make the seat reservation just before departure.
