What are the differences in the semi-hollows?

So tell me -- what are the differences between Rivieras, Sheratons, and Dots? They are all based on the semi-hollow 335 shape, are they not? Are there any practical differences, or is it all levels of bling?

Rivieras usually have mini humbuckers, P-90s, or P-94s although some older in the late '90s had standard humbuckers. Dots are 335 clones. Sheraton IIs have humbuckers and a lot of bling and the older Korean ones had super nice 5 piece necks.

 

I like the MIK Rivieras with the mini humbuckers and the Sherrys with the 5 piece necks. People with the current Riviera with the 3 P-90s seem to love them, but I've personall haven't played one.

 

5 piece Sheraton neck:
