Brutes and Elites have the same physical strength,
Nope. Brutes are actually much stronger and faster.

Elites have always thought the Humans as honorable,
Depends entierly on what Sangheili are in question. Some like Jora 'Konaree were ignorant fools, whilst others like Zharn demonstrated respect and intelligence. However this is in no way a universal quality.

Elites have honor, grace, and respect for their opponents, in Halo:Legends(which is Canon and has a lot of artistic interpretation) in the Package the red Elite(presumably Thel Vadam) gives Master Chief a ENERGY SWORD to make the fight fair and an honorable victory.
Again this depends on the groups/individuals.
Honour for a Sangheili is not Human Honour; They are Aliens. So put all the connotations of Human Honour out your head. No one knows what the Sangheili view as Honour as we have not been told in depth. All we know is that they have a moral and disciplinary code (Or codes) that they as a species hold in high regard.
Also, that was not Thel 'Vadam, it was Thel 'Lodamee.

Albeit Elites did hold Noble Six down and beat him to death after greatly weakening him emotionally and physically, this may have been a ritual of some sort.
No evidence to suggest this "ritual". These guys were bad apples.
Threads like these bring Sangheili fans a bad name. It is no wonder to me now as to why people think that we are blithering 14 year olds. This is another example of generalising all the cool things amongst them all whilst downplaying the negative qualities. That is not being a fan, that is being a fanboy.
Really though, it is like: "What do you like better: Apples or Oranges?"
Brutes and Elites are the same type of scenario. Taste in fruit is completely subjective, as is a persons tendency to relate to a particular race. So Naked Crook, people really do not have to justify why they like one over the other. Only if it is an opinion based on fallacy, like above, does it matter. You would not accept the reasoning of "I like Oranges better because Apples are poisonous".
Well said, Anton, well said, though I don't entirely agree with you on the issue of the Elites killing Noble Six, but everything else I see nothing to disagree with, again, well said.
