I don't think the weight difference has anything to do with whatever extra cost is involved. I think (as in JGRaider's) post that the difference is mainly in the supposedly flat fov of the EL. I don't think centerfield resolution is likely distinguishable between the two by the normal human eye. I know a lot of people think they "need" a flat, sharp to the edge fov, but I can think of nothing more unnatural to do to my eyes than spending time suquinting through the edge of the field. So I guess it gets down to how much you value a flat field (and if you are willing to experience rolling ball effect, some won't see that either) or whether a bit less edge sharpness with equal centerfield resolution for less money is more to your liking.
