1) What's your rationale behind putting these "elite boutique" offers on ice for a shot at a firm that you know is less prestigious and well known than them?
2) I would suggest not bringing up your poor performance in a follow up email. As sincere as your intentions may be, all it will likely do is remind the interviewer of your shortcomings during the call. Instead, I would focus on how serious your interest in the firm is, and subtly inform the interviewer of other offers you have on the table without sounding like some cocky self-entitled candidate that couldn't even get through a "walk me the through the financial statements" question. Then again, since you already have other offers and really want to go forward with this other bank, I wouldn't object to following your gut instinct if it is telling you to be bold and give the guy full disclosure on how you feel.
