Unlike xrefs, elisp-refs is sexp-oriented, so it always shows full sexp that matched your search, even if the result is on multiple lines. Results are also syntax highlighted.
xref doesn't prevent one from having syntax highlighting, at least.
xref.el was designed with the hope that it could accommodate "any" tool, so it would be really helpful if you could try and make elisp-refs work via xref.el. And if there's some problem doing so, please report it as a bug so we can improve xref.el.
I second that request. The problems of the "doesn't fit the model" kind should be the most interesting.
