The trouble with being so vague is that you will never get a quantifiable response.
You can sleep in the back of an 80 or a 100 series and I have had customers that have done UK to Cape Town trips in them with budgets ranging from buying the base vehicle (an 80) for £4k and then spending £6k prepping it or at the end of the scale buying a newish 100 series for £30k and then spending £35k prepping it - that is a massive variation for the same trip in virtually the same vehicle.
I am sure that the same could be applied to one of the long wheel base Land Rovers.
At the end of the day most well serviced leading 4wds will be fine for overlanding in standard form, it is then down to the individual as to what they consider necessary preparation.
