Hi! The Empress Elite is an enhanced version of the original Empress with these improvements:
1. 360-degree rotating turntable - I have a tight crafting space and this allows me to access the plates from any angle. The machine sits on top of the turntable...no assembly required.
2. Built-in Handles and USB Port - the handles are located on each side of the machine and is easier to lift and place rather than the awkward carry handle. There is also a USB-port located on the back of the machine to plug in other devices. I have found this to be a nice feature as I can plug in my crafting lamp without having to find another outlet or use my computer USB.
3. The operating buttons are elevated rather than the flat buttons on the original.
4. The Empress Elite is also taller than the Empress. Even if you do not use the turntable, it has 4 legs that keep the machine up rather than sitting flat on a surface like the original Empress.
Other than that, I have found that the plates, sandwiches, cutting, and embossing results are identical. I love them both!
