And you need excellent AV gear to be actually able to tell the difference, hardware 99% of the torrenters don't have.
The best thing about the 'slower' encodes is not quality foremost, as 'faster' P2P encoding groups like CHD are very very good already. It's the 'extras' like integrated subtitles, chapters, commentary streams etc., all the stuff that the MKV format allows and which make it such a great container for video. But not just HDBits internals are very good in this regard, I mentioned other sites with excellent internal encoders earlier.
