The CL is thicker and stouter, the III is longer thiner and heftier. But I'd prefer to carry a III series if going abroad. The CL is fragile - almost like a point and shoot. I was constantly worrying about nicking the black paint or damaging the meter cell. The III series I feel I can use as a spare hammer if I need to. The lens mount is also a handy bottle opener too.
