I honestly didn't know there was an Elite T9 model. I imagine the polished slide is the bulk of the difference. The internals I'm sure are the same.
Around here finding a T of any flavor is rare as chicken lips. I've only seen one used one at a gun show and kicked myself over and over for not grabbing it.
I finally got around to ordering a new one and don't kick myself at all for that, not even once.
It's not an Elite but I'm very fond of it.
