I am glad you are comparing these two!!
As far as whether they are related, you would have to ask Brad Gates about that.
Although breeders are entitled to some trade secrets!

MR started ripening earlier, has smaller fruit .
CSI is a larger plant with larger fruit. Though ripening later it has produced more in weight, so far.
They are very similar in appearance in both plant and fruit. So close they look like they could be related.
