Is this worth the $120 premium over the version with the X Plus processor?

I think everyone should stay away from any 16GB Win laptops. With all sorts of services running (existing and new apps), that 16GB will be maxed out quick. Probably why we are seeing so many 16GB ram deals.

for the 13.8, generally not, supposedly the elite throttles in the smaller chassis

No, it doesn't at all. Source your information when you make such claims.
Snapdragon chips are among the most efficient chips, providing great battery life, thermals, and less to no fan noise.

He must have been reading the stuff that user ruinedx has been posting, saying that elite processors are slower because of throttling is BS.

I read the same thing in various reddit forums, i.e. if you want to fully benefit from the Elite version of the Snapdragon, buy the 15" version of the Surface laptop. I have the X plus variant and no generally for my use no performance issues. Some non native ARM application drain the battery pretty quick though and the keyboard heats up. As I am mostly use office and chrome on this, it's not really an issue for me. I use a desktop PC with x86 for the more demanding stuff.
