Smart consumers and value purchasers aren't the target market for "Elite" Savannahs. They are pretty clearly not marketed to the "if you need to ask the price, you can't afford it" crowd.
Every breeder with an ounce of business sense has a tiered price schedule for how they price cats of the same generation. Some cats are just going to command more dollars, be it bigger ears, shorter tails, darker spots or whatever. That someones hangs a tag on one of the better kittens they've produced is pretty much without relevance to the breed as a whole, but definitely gets the juices flowing for someone who is purchasing a cat as a statement of stature.
The point is- it is a marketing term for one website, it is not an appropriate term to differentiate between kittens or cats in the breed as a whole. When one is introducing someone to the breed- as a whole- it is confusing enough for them to understand different generations and the outcrossing A/B/C/SBT labels- let's not toss in breeder marketing to confuse them more!
