 | Hi Deryck,  Junk is highly subjective and so is sharpening. 
 Each software has it's benefits in this department, Elements is only supposed to be a basic version of Photoshop and Ps has it's limitations with sharpening.
 
 I am not sure I would describe either software sharpening as junk, however, for real sharpening you have to delve a little deeper.

 | I would bet that PSE and full CS6 use the same sharpening algorithms but maybe CS6 has a few extra bells, whistles and twizzles.

 | Sharpening looks fine to me. 
 
 I suspect the original report of issues is down to user error ....... Over sharpening is a common error!
