Key Details
Elite vs Standard Sideline -- What You Actually Get
The Elite adds driftwood as a third hearth option and doubles the flame color combinations from 30 to 60. For buyers who specifically want a coastal or contemporary driftwood aesthetic, the Elite is the right choice. For buyers who want the classic log or modern crystal look, the standard Sideline covers both at a lower price with more reviews. Check whether the price premium for the Elite on the day you shop is justified by the driftwood option -- that's the only meaningful functional difference.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- 60 flame color combinations -- maximum customization
- Driftwood, log, and crystal hearth options
- WiFi and Alexa control
- 4.7-star average
Cons
- Fewer reviews than the standard Sideline 60-inch (860 vs 3,687)
- Premium price over the standard Sideline for incremental improvements
- 60 color options is more than most buyers will ever use
Bottom Line
Consider the Touchstone Sideline Elite if the driftwood hearth or 60 color options specifically match your room's aesthetic. For most buyers, the standard Sideline 60-inch delivers the same smart home performance for less.
