You need to change a digitizer, they are fairly cheap and easy to replace, you can also match the color of a digitizer to the color of the housing. I would not consider it a major decision-breaking point when buying a second hand Elf. As far as price is concerned, judging by what Elf are sold for in NZ, I say $100-$120. I have one and like it a lot. Would prefer Elfin, due to RAM, but the available ROMs don't make it a terribly pressing point for me.

The response is not shabby, just slightly different, although there is always a potential your digitizer, being non-OEM, has a different responce. But yes, it does feel different to Uni, but not shabby. Uni's digitizer is attached directly to the LCD, while in Elf/in it is suspended above the LCD and is independent in a sense that it is not glued on. I don't have a problem with my Elf's sensitivity, not sure how bad your problem is, but it would be better to address it in Elf/in forum, rather than a marketplace.
