First of all, the Elite 5400 is slightly older, does have the grain dissolver as an option. This is the one I tested. The new Elite 5400II is faster but it is not clear whether the grain dissolver is there or not. Any case, there is no noticeable difference in grey scale gradation reproduction and shadow areas either. I think my sample pictures on the engine well demonstrate this and partly the reason I chose it.
