Seal Pup vs. Elite

[BpUsa]

Hello, I am about to buy a new kinfe. Is there anything that is better about the elite rather than the seal pup that makes it more expensive. Any opions and stories about the two would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Just some quick info about the basic differences.

The Elite is made using AUS 8, had a TiNi coating and a slightly thicker steel stock.

The Pup is made from AUS 6, is powder coated and has a slightly thinner steel stock.

I like how the Elite is not serrated as opposed to the combo edge that the Pup has.

My preference is the non-serrated plain steel Elite. It is my primary woods knife when I'm not hunting. Get the one that seems to fit you better. I picked up my Elite at the Blade Show. One look at it and after handling it, I was sold. I have not regretted that decision. I sometimes wonder why I ever bought the Tiger Shark since I never use it. Yes, I know ..... cool blade.
