Elliptical is kinda gay but it doesn't hurt my knees as much...guess its b/c the treadmill forces me to keep a certain pace? I try to keep my RPM within a certain range...maybe I need to up it by 10

My guess is that the elliptical does not work your leg and shoulder muscles out as much as the treadmill as there is no impact for your muscles to absorb.
