Is there any unofficial registry of Tokai models?

Forgive me if the question is stupid, but during my short journey into the world of Japanese guitars, especially Tokai models, I noticed that some Les Paul models, although very beautiful at first glance, nice burst transitions, are relatively cheap (around €600) while others two or three times more expensive. so I'm wondering if someone somewhere has made like a list of Tokai models sorted by style: cheap models (top veneer, whole body is mahogany, medium expensive with maple top, very expensive models with AAA wood and nitro varnish, electronics de luxe ...? It would be purely like a guide when a person comes across a model called, for example, ALS-48 at a price of 400€ to know that this is a realistic price for that model, and that 400€ for the LS150 model is right golden opportunity (unless it's stolen or has some nasty problem).
 
Korean or Chinese made versus Japanese.

Bolt neck versus set neck.

Laminated top versus solid.

Nitro versus poly.
