Before revision:  This makes it possible to quantitatively compare ABCEM models e.g. regarding the ability of each model to reproduce stylized facts. We present a qualitative study of three known ABCEM models and several variants of those .
After revision:  This makes it possible to quantitatively compare ABCEM models in a unified environment by recombining existing building blocks using the XML-based SABCEMM configuration file. We introduce an abstract ABCEM model class which our simulation tool is built upon .
