The spread from the Elans doesn't seem too bad for now - after all the P3s are new to the teams while the Elan teams have plenty of set-up experience.
They sadly sound terrible to me - vintagish cross-crank low rpm V8, not at all race engine sounding. OTOH, this isn't a prime spectator series anyway - it is an entry level team and driver series.
I quite like the sound, especially under acceleration but get what you're saying.

Exactly on this being an entry level, "feeder" series. Pretty good for that!
