Chris King is comparable to Cane Creek 110 series, not 40 series.
40 and 110 refer to the length of the warranty.
Chris King gets you a gaudy KING KING KING KING KING logo all over the place if you are into that. Cane Creek's styling is a lot more subdued.
Higher-end headsets have better seals, smoother races, lighter weight components, etc. Just because you can't see the insides doesn't mean there is no difference.
