You don't say which device is feeding the TV on which input, but if
you're using RF at *all*, yes, the picture will be less impressive.

Do your best to do an A/B comparison feeding S-video signals to the TV
from both devices... Nothing else will really give you a fair test.

If you're *really* motivated: get a multiburst pattern into both boxes,
and feed their outputs into a waveform monitor.  :-)
