Has anyone here ever heard an electric violin? Is the sound difference big or just slight? I would really like to know more about them because I have been considering buying one for myself. 
Thanks

WHOA!
I have one. :p
Yes, they are extremely gorgeous, make a more rich sound than an acoustic given you have the right equipment to producee that sound on an electric.
Otherwise the acoustic would sound better, hehe.
But I suggest if you're thinking about getting one, a Silent Violin made by Yamaha, which is what I have. If you want a picture of it just tell me and I'll send you one, or you can simply search on google.

Much easier to get a variation in dynamics, however if played too much it can be harder to produce the same variance on an ordinary one. v fun to play though and good for performances!

Well, it depends on the performance. It's not going to do very good at a recital, kind of like classical style, because, well, you know. Electrics are good to be where the concert would accept it.

- Hi there, I'm playing electric violin for more than 20 years.
I played stage music for contemporary dance theatre, traditional theatre, modern ("the black rider") theatre, projects for ancient (medieval sephardic) music & jazzband ... – all electrically.
The violin had to be mainly louder. The sound had to be that of a violin – no overdrive or effects. On some of these jobs I had to play part acoustically and part electrically without being able to change the instrument – so I used an acoustic traditional violin with an electromagnetic pickup installed that didn't mute the acoustic sound and which didn't feedback at high volume.
Some of my band and studio work I did with a solidbody – but nowadays I'm coming back to the above mentioned semiacoustic – it's more fun.
To some electric sound samples you can listen here:
