First, welcome to LotusTalk Kyle!!!! Good to see you here!!!

Jerry,
My take...

1) A Lotus replacement chassis (galvanized) is more attractive to Elan purchaser/collector who wants something as original as possible. It's a good choice for the street as well.

2) Spyder chassis is stronger and stiffer. An excellent solution for someone who tracks/races/autoXs and/or drives on the street. Not so attractive to the Elan collector. Like CVs it is a mod that going away from the time-period.

Cheers,
Kiyoshi
