Wrong. Hold the two side by side. Adding checkering or chainlink etc. to the frontstrap and good set of sights, which would cost about $400, doesn't make the Colt come close to what DW is putting out these days. Colt fell off the wagon many years ago and unfortunately will never make it back on. They build a great, but very over priced base gun. And that's about it. When you buy a Colt these days, you're just paying for the name.

Methinks that the frame and slide are from a wee bit further East.

A good set of sights? The XSE comes with Novak's.
Checkering? Why? Does the gun need it?
I'm talking about Dan Wesson has better fit than Colt, and that can be remedied by spending $400 on the Colt to have the slide and frame tightened up.
Of course, I'm sure that Colt could do the same from the factory, if they were to jack the price up to Dan Wesson's level.
Get a Dan Wesson of similar price to the Colt and then compare.

I own both and would pick the DW CCO over the Colt CCO. The DW just has better features for me and the CCO is the best 1911 DW makes. I carry the DW CCO almost daily.

I certainly agree. Easy on and off, the nylon clip doesn't loose it's tension like a steel clip, and it rides at just the right height for me.
