Are the crank arms on the R600 the same as the lower-priced (nearly half the price), Tiagra compact offering?

Both look identical, neither has their respected names printed on the crank arms, just plain "Shimano" and they are both solid (not hollow). Is the R600 the same except uses different, lighter chainrings?
