I disagree. The OCR is more of a comfort geometry than any of the others; the TCR is more comparable in Giant's lineup. In terms of responsiveness you're probably looking at:

CAAD9>allez>trek> OCR.

Of course, in terms of comfort you're probably looking at that in reverse order.

While the CAAD is probably a little better frame than the others, get whatever fits and feels the best. There are some subtle differences in the geometries of those frames.
