First, I would recommend you to use the search feature because the Elitewheels were discussed back and forth.

Second, here is one of my answers copied from one of those threads:
"I've tested EDGE, ENT, and DRIVE wheels. The ENT and EDGE differ mainly in weight, spokes, and rim profiles. I am not sure about the SLT and SLR. I will consider writing a comparison article about all these wheelsets. Anyway, the DRIVE wheels have carbon spokes and ceramic bearings.
Regarding ride feel, EDGE + ENT are pretty soft but comfortable. But for example, I didn't feel like riding 1350g wheels when riding EDGE. They are not as responsive as DRIVE ones, which are a bit lighter. The ENTs are much heavier and better for flats and steady efforts.
Having said that, I would recommend saving a bit more for DRIVE wheels. They are my go-to climbing wheels (45mm depth weighs under 1300g), and they are much more responsive than EDGE.
However, it also depends on your experience. For example, I would be happy if I was transitioning from ALU wheels to EDGE. But given that I've tried wheels costing over $1000 with carbon spokes, I'd opt for those instead."

Third, you can also check out my Elitewheels comparison https://www.cyclistshub.com/elitewheels-road-bike-wheels-compared/ or Elitewheels Black Friday deals where I listed the actual price and also the price from a month ago: https://www.cyclistshub.com/elitewheels-black-friday/.

Got myself a pair of XC 28mm and pair of ENT disc. Going from alu low profile wheels on XC bike was a HUGE level up on flat and uphill. I'd love to disagree about cheapest elitewheels being on a soft side unfortunatlu reality hits after 600-700W. Would I go back to my previous Stans alu set? Hell nah. Hope my newest set, which was a bargain ENT Disc, will serve me well as XC does.

I've had Elite's SLR and EDGE. All the wheels with steel spokes have the same rim profile and same defaults spokes. I don't feel much difference, honestly. Would not recommend carbon spokes if you ride on rough roads or offroad.
