Very similar experience. I went and test drove a Touring and put a $500 deposit on an Elite that was being built. Someone backed out of an Elite that arrived before mine but it was the same color I wanted so the dealership called and I went in the same day. Took an hour to test drive and put the deposit down and maybe 2 hours to test drive the Elite and get it purchased. That was with a trade as well.
Bought a Black/Black Elite w/ no accessories. Paid MRSP of $53,375 + $230 for doc fees in Indianapolis. After trade and down payment, I financed around 10k at 4.99% through Honda.
I'm going to try to get them to come down on the all season mats and go pick those up since I have to go through Midwest winters.
Edit: I was able to have them price match a $200 listing on eBay instead of $250 non-installed price on the mats.
