Does Elite offer simple, less specific choices as well as the more

Yes, in fact you can set Elite to run just like Pro, for situations where simplicity is the key virtue. But simply choosing "Gamma 2.2/Whitepoint 6500" or some similar setting in Elite makes it simple, without removing the
other functionality where desired.
The reviews with screen
shots of the set-up process appear to include such options ("Elite
allows you to specify your own luminance level, by candela value,
instead of the simplified numberless version in Pro.")
BTW, I had previously scrutinized the chart comparing Pro and Elite -
the chart lists the differences, but does not explain why you would
choose one over the other, why that difference matters, or how the
different options would impact the calibration process.Yes, the goal is a comparison chart, not an educational document on all the functions and factors of display calibration and profiling. If you download the PDF of the Help files for Elite from our website, you can read what amounts to a whole book on the details and logic of calibration and profiling. The Pro Help, by the way, is a subset of the Elite Help, without the pages that relate to advanced tools and advanced target options.
