(oh no another Sherman question... ) ;)

Hello!
with Paul Owen's interior topic in mind, I would like to ask what you guys think about the Sherman interior kit offerings ?
I have seen CMK's M4 Sherman interior the Verlinden interior, and there is one more company that produces a resin interior, but I forgot its name..

However, they are, apparently, all made for the basic M4, not the other models, such as M4A2, M4A4, the Fireflies, the 76mm etc.
I would think that the hull interior would be almost identical in all of the small hatch models, with the only difference being whether it is a dry or wet storage of ammunition ? is that a correct assumption ?
But the turrets are bit more complicated. Has any company made a 76mm or 17pdr gun breach ?

I would want to build an interior in most of my Shermans, something that would make the insides of the tank look real with the hatches open. A super accurate interior is not required.
For me the overall deffinition of "best" would be the ease of building them. Though I havent found one, a styrene interior would be the trick.

offtopic: I am getting slighty nuts here, I havent built a model in two months. Ever since I moved I had to part with my spray booth and compressor, and I havent found the time to build a new booth, or funds to buy a new compressor...
