I am thinking about starting to convert all the THD/DTSHD tracks in a movie to EAC3 instead of AC3, as I did since some years so far.

Given I would anyway convert to 5.1 (FFMPEG limitation) and 640 kbps, should I get some benefits or EAC3 has the same algorithms of AC3 plus just the increase in bitrate and channel numbers?

I have been thorougly searching thru the web but no testing has been done AFAIK, especially with FFMPEG instead of commercial encoders.
