What are the differences between Lista, Stanley, and Lyon modular cabinets

[JWStout]

After having discovered the modularity and organizational capabilities of the Lista cabinets, I've been keeping my eyes open for a couple of cabinets that I can use as a workbench base. Having watched Craigslist and Ebay for a bit I'm finding that the Lista cabinets seem to be the most popular but also command somewhat of a premium over the other brands with similar products. Drawer dividers and bins seem readily available for Lista but much less so for Vidmar, Lyon, and the others.

To those who have some experience with these different cabinets, are the accessories interchangeable between brands assuming a similar drawer size? Particularly I'm interested if I could use Lista drawer dividers on a Lyon cabinet. But I'm also interested about how interoperable the other accessories are between the various product lines.

Thanks for any help.

I'd like to know as well. And doesn't Kennedy make one of these lines as well? It's called champion or companion or commercial or something like that. My buddy was telling me about them the other day but I can not recall the name. ???

EDIT: BOTT KENNEDY is the name.

Kennedy's with the "FX" drawers have a 550lb capacity

I know a lot about LISTA and a lot less about Stanley, Kennedy, and Rousseau but one thing I know for sure is that the drawer interior kits are NOT interchangeable.

While there are a lot of similarities between all of the cabinets, there are major differences in design, breadth of product line, and availability both new and on the used market.
