My experience of the Elliott's and I also prefer the Elliott-McKinney model for ease of use, is that they simply, to my ears, sound the most like the nut than any other capo I have used. The harmonics ring as loud and I do not experience any loss of tone or volume. Agree with what Todd and Toby have expressed. But, as anything with guitars go, hands and ears are not created equal and you may experience it differently. If you could borrow one to try out, that would be ideal.
A friend of mine thought I was crazy spending that much on a capo and then she came over and tried it and could immediately hear the difference. Another friend of mine bought one and didn't think they sounded any different at all. So as we are fond of typing here on the forum - YMMV!
Best,
Jayne
