BTW, I only have two yellow N-Strike models, the Stampede and the Nite Finder. But I have several Nite Finder iterations, a couple yellows and a gray and green, all modded. And just one Stampede, lightly modified.

In any event, the Elite line was designed to be an improvement to the overall performance of the yellow N-Strike line. So as improbable as it is, some yellow N-Strike blasters can still perform on par with post N-Strike blasters.

Otherwise, the two can't really be compared. N-Stike was awesome in its day. Elite was awesome in its day. Megas, awesome in their day.

Okay, okay, I made that last one up. Megas have their own challenges. But like Flat, my point is newer blasters are designed to be better than older blasters. It's called "progress".
