Anyone ridden both a Scott Addict and CR1?

Has anyone ridden both a Scott Addict and a CR1 and can comment on the handling characteristics, differences and similarities of both? Does the CR1 handle similarly but it simply has a taller head tube? Or is it a different beast altogether than the Addict?

I ask as I have two Addicts and they handle absolutely brilliantly. I want to find a small frame to build up for my girlfriend. She isn't worried about head tube height so widening the search to include cr1's will make it easier. But I would like the bike to have the wonderful handling of the Addict.

Well stick to the Addict then! I have the old CR1 (2006) and I love it and it handles well but I recently rode a 2014 Addict Ultegra and it is a great ride and extremely light yet stiff and seems comfy in comparison to my old CR1. The new CR1 is supposed to transmit much less road buzz but I would only go for the CR1 if you want a more upright and relaxed riding position and more comfort over longer distances.
