Along with the Scandinavian I play the Tarrasch Defense based on the same reasoning --- strike in the center a bit too soon on purpose. (1 d4 d4 2 c4 e6 3 Nc3 (or 3 Nf3) c5. As a former long time QGD and Caro Kann player, my results have been better with the 3...Qa5 Scandinavian and Tarrasch Defense.
Technically the Tarrasch Defense comes under the heading of QGD, but it's not usually discussed as such.
