Jack,
It goes much deeper than that. The supporting electronics are very different. Standard models have an awesome picture, but the Elites, with the better electronics, do the standards one better. Color saturation and black levels are better. And, yes, they have a few more bells and whistles. I spent a lot of time investigating and looking at the standard 50' Kuro, the 50' Elite 1080p, and the 50' Elite 720p. For me the debate was not about standard vs. Elite, as the Elites had a noticeably superior picture, it was a 1080p vs. 720p. At 4' away, the 1080p did have visibly better resolution than the 720p model. However, at 12' from the screen, the distance in my living room, there was NO visible difference. None! So, the 720p turned out to be a very happy medium in my situation. Elite quality at the price of the standard model.
