Kiko, CP are much like NP in the way they feed. However, because they averag 14"-18" and generally top out around 24" they don't get so huge like NP where they are eating the same panfish you'd like to be eating. It's been my experience that they often have a hard time competing with LMB in smaller ponds, especially those with few weeds for cover. They have no spines and are very fusiform making them easy to prey on by LMB. I have never seen them get out of control in ponds. They usually stay present in low numbers and act as a bonus fish when in competition with bass. They can however directly compete with LMB for resources. They could act as an additional predator on smaller bass helping to keep LMB numbers under control.
