This removes boilerplate code in the subclasses which otherwise only differ by the result type.
The code used to produce a message hash when signing and verifying messages was repeated in a few locations. Additionally, the "magic" text used to prefix the message before hashing is unrelated to validation. Create a utility function for this code rather than spreading it across multiple files.
The purpose of using a preamble or "magic" text as part of signing and verifying a message was not given when the code was repeated in a few locations. Make a test showing how it is used to prevent inadvertently signing a transaction.
