Curious about crew vs. R/T differences

I picked up a 2013 Durango AWD Crew with the 5.7L Hemi and started wondering how it stacks up against the R/T version. I've done some digging but haven't found clear answers yet. Anyone know what really separates the two trims?
 
The Crew's more about luxury and comfort, with more features and tech, while the R/T focuses on sportier performance and handling. Both share the 5.7L Hemi, but R/T has a sport-tuned suspension and styling tweaks
 
I've driven the R/T once and for a massive boat it handles surprisingly well. With that said, it's not the most comfortable option for driving around town especially on broken or bumpy roads. It's not bouncy, but it feels a bit harsh at moments.

Yeah, the R/T package spices things up with a sportier suspension, paddle shifters, better brakes, and a throatier exhaust, plus some cool visual tweaks. It still packs the 5.7L engine but has sportier tuning and transmission programming for quicker response.
