Generally, the 120% physical damage mods will grant you more raw damage (before applying weaknesses/resistances) than a 90% elemental if that damage type is >75% of the weapon's base damage, so factoring out all other mods here, it's going to give you 270 more raw damage vs 225 damage from an elemental. However, it's important to note the weaknesses to the compound elements for certain enemies is quite a significant factor in the over-all damage.

TL;DR: if you have 3 slots left- 2 elementals & crash course is fine, or if you're lazy and just want to increase the raw damage for fighting no specific faction, then yes.
