Migrating response here from DEALS thread:
Short answer, yes. I could simplify as Elex is like a House wine while Utopia is a fine vintage for special occasions.
Detail on Utopia ans Stellia is on another level–that’s what the big bucks pay for. Elex is no slouch, though, and has a very nice signature that’s easy to listen to every day. My biggest problem with Utopias is just that they’re so completely open; I need to find opportunities for 0 distractions to appreciate them properly. Elex are also very open, but they make a great daily driver for music and gaming, and not all of those experiences are under ideal conditions.
I also own the Clears (Pros, fwiw). These have a very difference sound signature from the rest of the Focal line–more of an even / reference / detailed type of voicing. Elex are fun for everyday listening, but I like Clears for analytical listening–if I really want to know what’s going on in a track, Clears. If I want to find a good reference for bass or detail or spatial aspects or whatever, Clears. If I just want to dive into a game with great audio or listen to a favorite album, Elex. Clears can be very musically enjoyable, too, and I like to rotate them in for a change of pace, but Elex is better for me for everyday casual listening.
