It's all relative...

Armor modelers put interiors in tanks, aircraft modelers put details into fuselage interiors then close them up. Car modelers detail engines then close the hoods.

It's all relative. If you scrutinize a 1/72 Type VII up close and personal, you'll see details of the pressure hull, especially if you add a brass deck and/or open the limber holes (obviously). If you're building a diorama and showing torpedoes being loaded (using the White Ensign set), or a dockyard repair diorama like the one at the 2005 IPMS Nats, then you see details.

If you install a CMK interior set, you can open the hull up a little further and see lots of details.

As is the case with all resin manufacturers, price is based on the costs of resin, rubber, pattern, and a profit. No resin company deliberately tries to rake your wallet over the coals. If they did (and there's been a few, trust me), they wouldn't be in business for long.

Yankee has a fine reputation for quality products, especially in the 1/350 resin ship arena (targets to you fellas).
