TV.601->PC.709 doesn't require any linear blending, so my filter won't be able to do much for you. Two possible improvements which would be negligible:
  1. If you're using both ColorMatrix and SmoothLevels together, then ResampleHQ will give you less rounding error.
  2. Proper dithering does require linear blending, so ResampleHQ will give more correct results than anything that does non-linear dithering. I'd be (pleasantly) surprised if whatever dithering SmoothLevels does is performed linearly.

The brightness difference you see in those pictures is actually what correct resizing is supposed to look like. ResampleHQ doesn't mess with brightness, saturation, or anything like that at all -- everything else just does it wrong
