As good, or better?

As good tells me it's on par. Which isn't what I wanted, I wanted a motor that provided a stronger mid range, and a lot more top end without giving up fuel economy. I was much happier with the Legend 4 for 75-100$ more. Or a 7 port for $125 more. Were they twice the motor? Easily. Clearing a 65 foot triple or not is a large difference in lap times on a huge outdoor track. The elite 5 couldn't do it in buggy, and truggy I couldn't even imagine trying it. The 4 port could clear it, but you had to be perfect. The 7 port made it easy.

Everyone has their opinion. I ran all of these motors personally. On the track I race at, which is huge, the Elite 5 just wasn't enough for me.
