If that were only the case.
Look at things like seats, seat bases, handles, rivets vs stainless nylock nuts/bolts, stringers, etc etc.
you will notice quality differences from the rebels to the adventure series to the pro series.
heck, when I compare my pro guide to the "equal" adventure series boat, there are hugh differences.
my boat is a 17' model.
I have compared my 16 Lund to Pro V's and Tyee's of the same year. The handles and steering wheels are the same. Seat bases were the same, gauges were the same. The carpet is the same material. The only differences I can see is the measurements. For example, a 14' Rebel will have a 1.75 inch thick transom and a Tyee will have a 3.75 inch transom. Both are made of the same quality, just one is thicker.
Forgive me for comparing it to iphones. An ipad is bigger than an iphone or ipad, but not made any better. Just MORE materials are put into it.
I don't think Lund says to its factory workers "ok, this one is not a Pro-Series, so cut corners and put the cheap stuff on it"
Just my opinion.
