Does anyone know if there is a difference in the tube length between these 2 pens?

I am quite sure there is more than one pen going by the name "sierra elegant beauty". So beware--the Inside diameter is different on one.

In my experience the regular Sierra and SIERRA Elegant Beauty are
interchangeable in respect to the tubes, with respect to the diameters and lengths.
This is with the BEREA kits, rebranded, and resold by numerous vendors.
I have no experience with "apprentice" versions or Rhizeng made kits.

In the pictures I've seen the regular Sierra and Sierra Elegant Beauty look like the WC Wall Street II and Elegant Wall Street II. They use the same drill bit size. I can't tell about the bushings. Does anyone have experience with both kits? Are they the same kits under different names and use the same bushings? I would like to move away from my current pen kit source but would rather not have to buy yet more bushings.
I have don't have both Wall Street II and Elegant Wall Street II kits to hand right now, only completed Wall Street II and Elegant Wall Street II pens. I know both these Wall Street II kits use the same bushings, drill bits, and replacement tubes. If the Sierra and Sierra Elegant Beauty kits and the WC Wall Street II and Elegant Wall Street II are indeed the same kits under different names, the Sierra kit tubes must be the same length.
Cheers,
Stephen

The Berea Sierra Twist and and the Berea Elegant Sierra Twist use the same tubes and bushings.
The tubes for the Sierra Click and Elegant Sierra Click are different lengths.

Scott, I just found the answers to both your question and mine...

This pdf document shows that for all four pen kits the tubes are the same diameter and length, as are the bushing dimensions and drill sizes. An excellent information source. Thanks Wayne!

Yep! Additionally, I've found that Berea EB tubes are just a teensy bit thicker. This is not really a problem, UNLESS you buy pre-made blanks made on a Sierra tube and put them on an EB kit. The top of an EB will not stay pressed into place without a little blob of Loctite to hold the clip and fenial assembly. Otherwise, the OD and the overall length seem to be exact.
No
Rizheng says the Sierra elagant beauty they sell uses the same tubes and bushings as the Sierra.
