"R-squares is equivalent to assessing a difference between the mean
square errors."
I should clarify: This statement is true because the R-squares are
being computed on the same data and for the same response variable. To
ensure this condition, restrict the sample to observations with
non-missing values for all predictors in the two regressions.
