It is quite amazing.. Look to some of the exceptional uniques and imagine: Bloodletter falcata, Atlantean mythic sword, Goldstrike Arch hydra bow anyone?
Look to the % ED mod on the uniques, many of them can rival a decent cruel(though rarely a perfect cruel), as well as having other good mods. Also, the level req on these upgraded uniques seems fairly low. I didn't check, but it looks like they were using the base lvl req for the elite item. That means that some of the best items will be able to be equipped at pretty low lvls.
Of course, a 300% cruel elite sword of quickness with 3 open sockets beats them all.
I hope monsters really are tougher, to make up for these overpowered(by 1.09 standards) uniques/sets/runewords.
