Um, what? With 2-pass you get exactly the bitrate you ask for, and any settings difference shows up only in quality. With CRF, various settings affect bitrate or quality or some mixture thereof; if you see bitrate was reduced, you can't even be sure whether that was an improvement without comparing quality too.
