These are almost always customized to the original owner including the tubeset in order to deliver the stiffness and handling the buyer asked for so comparing them is quite difficult.

Generally speaking, the Odonata was the original carbon ti seven and has carbon seat tube and seat stays. If the transition is not pointy then it's from 2004 or older. The elium first came out around 2004 and added a carbon top tube along with ultra butted ti. It was supposed to be lighter than Odonata.

Seven has since blurred the lines by dropping the Odonata name and calling them both some variant of Elium. Don't forget, there was even the short lived Elium Race model.

In summary, your question has no straight forward answer and is best addressed by looking at the build sheets of specific frames.
