Question Quality concerns between a $25k and $50K Cobra?

For a while now I've had my standard pretty high with the quality of $50,000ish Cobra. Excluding the motor and tranny what makes it better than a $25,000 Cobra?

Here are my first thoughts, let me know if I'm correct or not.
Quality of body - fiberglass thickness? symmetrical? smoothness?
Paint quality - 10 foot reflection vs orange peel?
Quality of frame - need help here, boxed? tubed? Obviously you want to be able to handle tons of torque, but is there overkill?
Suspension - made like the original? better than original? Donor mustang?
Rear Diff - straight axle, jaguar?
Brakes - Size? brand?
Chrome - does this make a big difference in price? sidepipes, roll bar, etc...
interior - need help. how close to the original? comfort? quality? 2 point vs 4 point seatbelts?

When you put a $25k cobra next to a $50k cobra are you gonna say "WOW!" look how much better the $50K car looks?
