Frames: Record v. Grand Prix

As far as the frame is concerned is there anything different between the two? I'm trying to move up the food chain but never seem to find right size frame until this Grand Prix came along. On a trade, I'm getting a 77 Grand Prix frame/fork. On Sheldon's site it says the Record frame is made of 20/30 high-carbon steel. Are the lugs any different or did the models differ in components but with same frame?

I've sat back and looked for a year now and this is the best that has come my way although plenty of stuff in the 60-64cm range. Just wondering if I'm moving up the food chain or not really.
