2019 Specialized Crux Expert v. Specialized S-Works Crux

Hello all,

I'm building a gravel bike right now, and picked up a 2019 Specialized Crux Expert off eBay on the cheap (relatively speaking). As I started to research this frame, I noticed that both the Expert and S-Works level of the the 2019 Crux were ostensibly described as using the same frame lay-up with 11r carbon. Technical specifications say the Expert is "Fact 11r Carbon" while the S-Works is "Fact S-Works 11r Carbon". Both frames are reported to have more or less the same weight at 900g or so (56cm).

So I was wondering if anyone knows about that generation of Crux: was the only difference between the Expert and S-Works the groupset, wheels, and other components they shipped with?

Thank you all!
