I would appreciate feedback from anyone familar with both models. Is there a significant difference? Thank You.

Do those of you who preferred the SC feel as though the D1 review samples were sufficiently broken in before the comparison?
I have a pair of Response 2's (original front ported version, though I have also owned the rear ported 2S model and a pair of Studio 1's) and they are a little large for my present listening area. I was thinking of putting them in the closet and getting a pair of D1's for the time being. I've also considered a used pair of 1SC's and that's how I ended up here on this thread.
I'm getting the impression from comments I've read that the D1's might not deliver the ProAc magic I've grown accustomed to. Thoughts?
Nice to hear an opposing opinion, Acurus! The reason I asked about break-in is that it has been my experience that these mid-range drivers with the rubber surrounds that are so common these days take a very long time to break in compared to the foam surrounds of old. (Yeah, I've been away for awhile!)
I have a pair of Snell K7's in my second system (very nice little speakers but not ProAcs by any stretch of the imagination)which are similar in size to a 1SC with a driver which looks much like the MR driver in the D1. They took seemingly forever to break in and the transformation was anything but subtle. They are, by nature, a little on the bright side, but almost intolerable before they were broken in.
