I'm not a paint and body man either, but I think there is a difference
between some cars, especially vintage ones.

I can remember reading something in Sports Car Market Letter, written by
Michael Sheehan, I think, about the differences between body prep on a
vintage Ferrari vs body prep on other cars of the same vintage, modern
cars, etc.

Now, maybe he was simply trying to justify the hundreds of hours of body
prep he whacks his customers for, or maybe there was some real
difference.

For the stuff we're talking about, I personally tend to agree with all
that you said.
