>ISTR using a 4000 a couple of times, my impression is the Elite is somewhat more "split". Do you find you use the extra keys/functions the 4000 has vs. a standard keyboard like the Elite?
With the Elite I HATE the arrow buttons layout. The arrow buttons should be an inverted T layout not a + layout (IMO)
I actually only use 3 of the extra dozen or so buttons on the 4000! Volume +/- and the Calculator button. The shortcut to the Calculator is especially fantastic.
My favorite natural keyboard was actually this one (but I can't find it to buy it anymore):

With the one I use now:
