Based on the EVA page, the Elite seats are a little wider with better cushion and it has a 120 V outlet for your computer. I never sat in the Elite section and was wondering if it is worth the additional money and points.
I cannot speak to the seats in Elite class, but if you are using UA or other Star Alliance miles to upgrade a B,Y or K then you are upgrading to Royal Laural Business class, not Elite (K is already Elite) and RL Business class is a huge difference.
