Thanks for the reply! Very insightful. I feel better about tweaking monsters by adding class levels now that I know it isn't strictly following the designs in the book. Challenge rating seems somewhat less precise in this version anyway, so I think it's something I'll have to play with. I agree there's no reason to try to readjust CR manually in the long run, but I'm glad to know it's an option.
If anyone else routinely adds class levels to monsters, I'd love to hear anything you have to add here.
