If you have to compare the two models, why not read on on the
comparison of nested and non-nested models on the list (by searching
the archives) and selecting the best or preferred model using the AIC,
BIC or HQIC.
Comparisons based on R-squared ( or adjusted R-squared) does not need
be tested _Statistically. Simply you can chose a model with higher
R-squared ( or adjusted R-squared). Otherwise Nick's suggestion is
what seems to be the most appropriate one to me.
