He's talking performance dude, you don't need to defend the AU looks just yet. Your time will come though, lol.

Better engine, more refined steering and suspension, better brakes.
Better head & gasket, stronger bottom end as Frank said. Roughly the same weight. The AUs a goer 
The AU should out-handle and out-perform an EL.

from my experience the AU seems to have better mid range power, but the AU seems to struggle up high.
i'm sure exhaust changes etc would free a lot of that up. the EF/EL doesn't seem to feel like this, they'll happily rev out easier then the AU but not have the same midrange.

i do some casual work in a used car dealership, and had to go pick up an au2 forte today for the boss. after a bit of driving (and a little bit of thrashing) it was obvious that the au had a little bit more power than my ef mont..
then i realised the air con was on my god, after that the power difference was amazing, at low to mid range u get thrown back into ur seat 10x more than the ef. after driving both u can easily say the au wins in power (obviously more kW) but u can definately feel it too if thats wat ur looking for
and yes frank if u try reeaal hard u can get an au to look nice

how hard can it possibly be to trade one in on an EL?

once you drive a au for comparison, you're hooked. unless you see a fully worked EL pumping 200- 300rwkw at a car yard.
all you have do then is sink into the sets & enjoy!
