Does any have one, if so is the quality and ease of setup worth double the amount of the regular Big Mouth?
Thanks in advance

Looks like the same product except a little bigger. 
Probably slightly harder to setup because it is slightly bigger.

2X the cost at $300. To me, going from 7'x7' to 8'x8' is not worth the extra $150.
Don't short change your Team, get the elite. It is elite!
If your Team name doesn't have gold in it maybe it does not matter.

IMHO it is better to just buy two of the smaller bownets - more flexibility in how you use them and a bigger, wider coverage area.
Actually what I would do (actually what we DID do this year) is buy several of the Rukket (bownet copies) for $80 from Amazon. We replaced our 2 original several year old bownets with 4 Rukket nets this season. Same quality product for a cheaper price - actually the net may be better with Rukket.

Besides the size and the fold out legs, what makes it worth double the cost? Thicker net? Not worried about trying to keep up with the Jones, just want something that will last.
Shoot. If that's all you want then go to amazon and buy this one. Amazon.com : Rukket The Original Sock It! Baseball & Softball 7 x 7 Practice Net (w/LIFETIME WARRANTY & US Based Customer Service) : Sports & Outdoors
It's a 7x7 but a heavier duty netting than Bow Net with a lifetime warranty. At $79.95 they're a steal. I have 2 plus the Bow Net and ended up leaving the Bow Net in the closet now because I like these better.
ETA: To the OP: Our organization has 2 of the Elites for our indoor facility. They are extremely heavy duty and will last years. They are about the same setup time as the 7x7 due to having to deal with the top of the net on 8' bows. Personally, I wouldn't use them to travel with because of the cumbersome length, weight and not being any easier IMO to set up. I also wouldn't spend that kind of money on a net...well not to hit softballs into anyway
