Abstract: We generalize a class of groups introduced by Herbert Abels to produce examples of virtually torsion free groups that have Bredon-finiteness length m-1 and classical finiteness length n-1 for all 0 < m <= n. The proof illustrates how Bredon-finiteness properties can be verified using geometric methods and a version of Brown's criterion due to Martin Fluch and the author.
