Total beginner question here, but do the pens on your list that are similar also work with the same bushings?

For the most part, yes.

Somewhere around here is a spreadsheet (still a draft document I think) that is compiling the kit names, supplier(s), bushings and drills.

A good example would be:

WallStreet II (WoodCraft), Gatsby (PSI and others), Sierra (Berea HW and others), Monet (WoodNWhimsies and maybe others) are all the same size hardware (finish etc vary by price and OEM or course) and use the same bushings.

FYI, one way around the bushing delima is to use calipers for the final sizing. Then all you need are bushings to adapt the tube to your mandrel or go mandrel-less. I'm working on making set of adapter bushings or tubes so I can skip the kit bushings.
