My title is pretty self explanatory to be honest.
I want to get the NZXT S340 but since there's also an Elite version now, I was wondering wether to just buy that one or not.

For the record, I am not into, nor will I get a VR set in the near or distant future.

I have seen some comparisons but apart from the VR Jack on the side and the fact that the side panel is glass, I can't see much of a difference between vanilla and elite S340.
Of course they look a little different but I don't have a preference in terms of looks as they both look great in my opinion.
Hence I am asking for a second opinion.
 
Solution
Honestly the side window, vr front and holder are the real main differences. Tempered Glass is really nice and it is hard to find a case with tempered glass at that price.

Yeah I suppose that's where it ends, paying the extra amount for just the glass is a little eehhh though.
Not sure, I'll go with what looks better.

I know this is old but, may I ask what the OP went with? and which every the OP got... how was the cable management? Easy? Anything you weren't expecting? I am considering one of these cases my self.

I went with the elite. I like the glass and the fact that it's matt black which fits my setup and the white led fans look great in it.
The cable management is ideal, you can tuck everything away nicely. I just had a little trouble getting my SSD installed but nothing a little bit of cable crunching won't fix. Honestly I don't see you having a problem with cables if you go with this case. Just be careful if you go with matt, it scratches easily.

I ended up with the p400 eclipse...
With the phanteks I was worried about cable management space... it was not a big issue compared to what I was used to at all lol. It was no problem.
I shied away from the elite because of how the 3.5 inch hard drives mount... you cannot completely screw them down without having the power supply removed? I did not like that... the phanteks drive bays are fantastic.
I'm glad we are both happy!
