I can confirm the above. 8,000 coins for 1,000 elixir. Plus if you go over the 8k you don't get credit for the rollover coins. You start again at 0.

Going to see if the next 8k in coins results in a different prize. I've got enough elixir that the extra 1,000 is pretty useless.

It would be nice to use elixir on more items.
