So Basic is indeed about a third of the PHB (at present). Additionally, from a casual look at the page-count, it seems Basic includes about half of each Class it includes (4 page of Cleric vs 8, etc). Since there's certain foundational class features that must be repeated as-is, that suggests the PHB will probably have 2.5 - 3.5 times as many customisation options for each class (and, presumably, similar amounts for races, etc).
I think I'm happy with that on both counts - Basic seems to be a really solid taster of what this new edition is all about, while the PHB includes a good deal more.
All in all, today has been a really good day for 5e, IMO.
