CR alone is problematic way to compare power, and it's often misused too.This is reason, why I feel doubtful about advanced HD adding so little CR. Those hit points/Saves and other stuff matter greatly.And in case of some monsters they mean more, than with others.Lets say, monster with 100 hp cast heal on himself, it's pretty different, if he had 400 hp instead.Much hp draw longer fights and much can happen with long fights.PC:s run out of spells, they get hurt, and if monster happens to have fast healing or something like that, it doesn't have to bother to stop heal that minor damage so often.How much those advanced HD count depends much on monster.How useful adding character levels also depends on monster, and what kind of party will be facing it.I've played one game from 1st level to 23th level (without epic rules), and we run into this 'supposingly just little advanced monster' problem constantly.</blockquote>
