I’ve user both Elcans 1-4x and 4x ACOGs on M4s for years. The ACOG is lighter, but I much prefer ELCAN for actual shooting - Better glass, much more forgiving eye box, more eye relief, reliable adjustments, much more versatile with 1 and 4x. It’s just faster at everything.

ACOG is pretty bomber once you get it zeroed, but it kinda sucks to get it zeroed. Adjustments seem to stick, then you adjust more, then stick, then adjust more, and then ALL of the adjustments take all at once.

Having said all that, I don’t think I’d buy either of them if I had to spend my own money. ELCANs are pricey, and I’d rather not have a BDC reticle. I shoot them in military matches and service rifle out to 600 yds. It’s not ideal in the field past 300 in my opinion.
