No offense.
I am not of the mini mafia mentioned above, but I do admit I consistently miss points.
I think you might know some of the mini mafia downunder from using their now defunct site in the past (mini net? I think). They had an in depth review (as they did with all minis put on the market ever) of the CR and that is what I based my comments above. As it happened, I was in the market for a mini (just trying to satisfy my obsession, no competitive reasons) and had a look at the kits when they hit the local hobby shops here, but was not impressed, so gave it a miss not only based on second hand info (albeit serious, reliable and in depth documented second hand info).
