I think mainly because not all elk hair works. Some is completely unusable for the EHC. But comparadun deer patches are everywhere.

NJ,
Funny, but I prefer not to use comparadun hair for caddis patterns.
I use comparadun deer hair on Sparkle Duns because it flares so easy/well/completely. To get a caddis sillouhette, I try to select deer hair which does not flare like comparadun hair.
