The internals are quite similar. I've owned several of both models, and haven't noticed any differences internally - though I'm not particularly observant.
I believe that they both have plastic mag catches.
I'm not a fan of the grip on the Elite. The M9A1 has grips that a bulge at the rear, while the Elite is flatter. If you look at a P226 grip vs a 1911 grip, you'll see an exaggerated example of see what I mean. There's a bulge at the back to go into the palm of your hand on the M9A1, like the P226 has, while the Elite does not, similar to the 1911.
Some like it, some don't. Maybe I'm just used the M9A1's grips.
Note that the shape is in the pistol frame itself. Tossing A1 grips onto the Elite frame will not make it rounded, and will just look silly.
