I believe the original is more flat. The salon elite (which I have) has a curved middle so that it shapes to your head more. I'm sure both work fine!

The construction is the main thing. Visual apex is in virtually one piece, where as elite has multiple poles that has to be put together. Both are well constructed screens are different both has great picture quality. Time in setting up may make a difference to one in a hurry.Apex is vinyl and Elite is PVC MATERIAL.

In any tool that involves grinding, cutting, vacuum, etc. it pretty much comes down to motor size. The Elite has a bigger motor. More power equals not only a task better done, but far less chance of overtaxing the killing the motor because it isn't being asked to constantly perform at the outer edge of its capabilities. Reserve capacity usually equates to a longer lifespan.

Not sure what the difference is but I love the Classic! I use it all the time.

The only difference is the color scheme. I purchased the special edition for a Christmas present for my grandson and then purchased the yellow one later in the Spring for my other grandson. Adults and children all LOVE this car. We play race games in our basement.

I can see no difference in the two models. Don't know what the E designation means.

The Elite is considered version 2 (.v2) and it a different design from the basic. Take a lot and the images of both to see the changes.

It is different than the one I got. I'm not sure of the year of either model.

I really don't know. I do a lot of photography so I am constantly switching back and forth between the original and the one I ordered. Over the months, I lost track which is the original and the one I ordered (they look identical) and usage wise, I can't tell the difference between them.

no differences in gameplay. just the design. it's an update from the company. that's all. the first edition will be some sort of an collector's edition now since it's out of print.

Strangely, I've noticed no difference in transfer speeds between them. To me that means that the smaller buffer isn't the weakest link in the transfer. They also removed the blue circular status light from the front of the drive and now it lights up by the USB port. Both 5200 RPM as far as I know. I think the Elite has the slightly faster drives and more buffer size.

Hello Sonny, The package does say it is for the Elite model, but does say anything about the number. So I would presume that it covers all Elite series. Hope that helps. JP

They are the same. I compared the original with the replacement and found no difference.

You don't need the Elite for that, the Spyder Pro works, but you will never get an EXACT match because they are completely different displays. It will get it as close as it can.

From the reviews I read about the regular one I would say yes. I've never owned the regular one but I am very happy with the elite. We use it at least every other day.

I'm sorry I can't answer your question as I have only used the Elite. I don't have any knowledge about the quality of the regular one. Perhaps you can ask someone who has purchased one how their experience has been. I am very happy with mine.

If you are referring to the elite? Yes it works. That's what I have in mine.
