Westfield has 3 Sevens: The SE, which is the cheapest, the SEi, which has
independent rear suspension, the SEi wide, which is slightly bigger.

I think the main difference is that it is possible to buy the Westfield with
independent suspension.

This is strange. Here in Holland the Westfield is about 1/3 of the price of a
Caterham. A complete Caterham will cost you about 60k guilders (about $30k)
while a complete Westfield SE costs about 20k guilders (about $10k).
