Quick answer: Choose Elite Smart for maximum size choice and the best all-around flexibility. Choose Alexa Built-In when integrated voice control is the deciding feature. Choose Elite Pro when visual depth, premium lighting, and fireplace sound matter more than keeping the firebox as shallow as possible.
The standard Smart and Alexa Built-In models are approximately 5.5 inches deep. Elite Pro is deeper, so its framing dimensions are not interchangeable. Always confirm the exact model drawing before construction.
