My 61cm SL is 916g sans the BB cups and the fork 328g uncut so whilst circa 140g heavier than a 56 Addict HMX frameset there's not a huge difference. As you say though the geo of the Addict is more for out and out racing, the CR1 is more of an endurance with a nod to performance.
The only reluctance I have with the CR1 is as a clydesdale I'm not actually sure how wide a tyre I can get in there so for me my KTM does me fine for a small weight penalty as I can get a 27mm veloflex tub in at the back.
There's a 61cm blue and white Addict on ebay as well, if it was the black and red I'd be all over it.
