I am not familiar with the Elite, but if the Elite is basket shift instead of carriage shift, that would be one important differentiator. It may not make a difference to you, but many folks find carriage shift (as with the Olympia) is a little more effortful than basket shift.
From what I can find on the internet, it looks like both are carriage shifts.

Both Elites that I have, as well as the SM3, are carriage shift.

Re: Optima Elite 3 vs Olympia SM-4
So Jfraney, did you make a decision? Wondering if bought the Optima or the Olympia?

I'm going to be checking them out on Sunday! If there's no problems with the Optima I think I will go that route. I'll keep you posted
