Virtus vs Slavia - same platform, but which actually drives better?

Question

Know they are twins under the skin (MQB-A0-IN) but test drove both this weekend and the steering feel is noticeably different - Virtus felt marginally heavier/more planted to me, Slavia slightly lighter and easier around town.

Anyone who has actually owned both or done a proper back to back drive want to weigh in? Trying to decide between the two before I book.

Owned a Virtus 1.5 DSG for 8 months now. The rear seat width and boot are marginally better than Slavia from what I recall at the showroom, but honestly the difference is small enough that I would pick on styling/dealer proximity over anything mechanical - they really are that close.
