we should be clear on that these themes define the look of the site
*minus*how content is laid out / emphasized.  in other words, with any
of these
themes, we can put any content anywhere we want, i.e. emphasize videos (or
whatever) on the front page (or anywhere else).

we can have side columns, or not, and can have side columns on some pages
but not others; we can have a footer section with multiple blocks, or one
block, or not.

basically, the themes define the fonts, white spacing, what the navigation
looks like, etc.  but beyond that they do not define what we can do in terms
of organizing content.
