Anyone used Resizer by Digital Anarchy?

I just d/loaded the demo and comparing it's results to a simple separate fields+scale to 200% in AE they both look exactly the same!?! If anything AE's has less 'glitches' in it (presumably from motion estimation?). I tried every setting in Resizer and most made no difference, so I ended up putting it to best settings and throw everything at it...30 secs of rendering 1 frame and....it looks the same is AE.
This is an interlaced SD clip in PAL resized 200% by the way.
Separate to this test, I've also been playing with Re:Vision FX FieldsKit Deinterlacer on this same fast bit of moving football footage and it's not doing anything noticably different to AE separate fields.
I must have something wrong here surely!?
Thanks for any advice guys.

I've used it and you’re not doing anything wrong. AE simply does a good job of up-sampling footage itself. I assume there is a good use for those algorithms but I just didn’t see any difference in upsizing SD to HD footage that was worth the added render time.

I have to say - I tried the new Upreser from Red Giant (Magic Bullet Instant HD) and it made a huge difference. None of that upressing stuff is perfect but this is the best I've seen by far. You can download a trial and give it a go.
