I like the second transformation for two reasons: the first is the inclusion of a tail (thank John Fawcett for that one).

The second reason is that we now know what Elena avoided, and another clue as to why she may be a special case (aided by the fact that she is the only werewolf to ever suppress the change). The story would be finally starting to move somewhere, if only the rest of the writing was stronger.
