Compressor versus QT Conversion

Is it just me, but I am comparing video that I resized using two methods:

1. From Timeline Sequence, Export Using QT Conversion (change size & deinterlaced), as a H264 QT

2. Using a full res QT Export, then drop it into Compressor using the H.264 setting modified to the specs above.

To me, the 1st method looks better (text and picture look way sharper) which sort of bums me out because I don't think you can do a batch export of many sequences where you can change the size and deinterlace it as if you did one sequence.

Am I doing something wrong?

Let me know.
