Of course the mix is different, but if is better or not is a question of your taste.

The mix for DPL II (BeHappy or eac3to) is:

fl' = 0.3254xFL + 0.2301xFC + 0.2818xSL + 0.1627xSR
fr' = 0.3254xFR + 0.2301xFC - 0.1627xSL - 0.2818xSR

The mix for Stereo in BeHappy is:

fl' = 0.2929xFL + 0.2071xFC + 0.2071xLFE + 0.2929xSL
fr' = 0.2929xFR + 0.2071xFC + 0.2071xLFE + 0.2929xSR

I can add to BeHappy other personalized mix if you want.

By the way, I thought that Eac3to normalizes automatically when -down2 is selected and that -Normalize is no longer needed. Is this not true?
Nope, you need -normalize.
