Comparing apples to oranges for the most part.
The CDT is a good low end torque producer (especially with the right map) but is just not a top end warrior topping out at about 150, below even the weakest of the 2.5 KV6s. However most town/motorway driving is done with lower throttle/rpm where the diesel shines. For a spirited B road sprint the KV6 would be much more rewarding and like others have said it's a much smoother engine.
If you drive it with a different approach you might find it more to your liking. I had a similar problem after buying my first ZR VVC, as I was still driving it like a diesel so was disappointed with the result. Going past 4k rpm soon fixed that
