I do not think you are pronouncing EE correctly. EE is like the Y at the end of 'energy', the first E in 'evil', etc, not like the first E in 'elephant'.
In my accent, at least, EE in between L and OH would sound virtually identical to I (as in 'in'). I-as-in-'in' is a tiny bit shorter, but the difference would be negligible.
