Some test results I've seen show that the MediaTek running at 2GHz compared to the Allwinner B300 running at 1.8GHZ give ~45% better performance though I haven't seen enough to give me any certainty.

Thanks! So it seems that both Sage and Elipsa have the same CPU, but the Sage works better for people. I haven’t heard people griping about laggy note taking with Sages, but
everyone who owns a first gen Elipsa has the same complaints. Screen size is the obvious difference.
Nothing we say here is going to change it. The solution I found was to learn to write blind (meaning I generally write faster than the screen can render), then compose my thoughts as the unit freezes while it tries to catch up. It’s a serious flaw, made worse by later firmware updates it seems, but I learned to live with it.
BTW, where did you get such juicy info about the CPUs? I searched quite a bit on this subject before posting and came up empty.
