Respectfully, do you really need the 'Elite' stock for your gaffs?
Granted, the super-premium feel thanks to ultra-thin luxury stock with elite embossed finish is 'special', but...
If you put the 'Elites' side by side with the '808' series, you can see and feel the difference in thickness and weight.
However, in my experience, rarely does it really play an important role with any effect...or gaff/gimmick.
Anyway, just my 2c.
Have a great holiday season.
