I think it would be more fair to compare the frame fit between the CQB and the Ed Brown.
I do know what you mean though when you say your Brown is super smooth. That is how my Les Baer feels. Granted it was so damn tight I could barely rack the slide when I got it - now it seems to be on ball bearings.
I would disagree with you and agree with Rob on this. They are all $1800ish pistols and should be compared on an even playing field. The Elite is more expensive and would be compared to more expensive EB's and WC's.
For the amount of money they charge for the 1* (base) package there should be more hand fitting done to the frame/slide.
