I have experience with the Truvativ Rouleur, but not the Elita. The chainrings on the Rouleur are not nearly as good as Shimano's chainrings (not as stiff and don't shift as well). However, because I use custom-sized rings on all my cranks (mainly from TA Specialites), this hasn't bothered me (I sold the stock rings to a friend for a pretty cheap price).
