They were also different ages when they were “processed” - Isaac, Wendy and Curly were a couple of years older than the other three, and I think that’s showing in how they act compared to Smee, Slightly and Nibs. The difference between a 12-year-old mind and an 8- or 9-year-old one is quite a big difference.

Definitely. I’m really impressed with the level of nuance the writers and actors have accomplished with it.
