And likewise it's hard to gauge how much you'd have to increase or decrease the CRF to get the same quality as before.
Repeat after me: CRF is quality-based, but not constant quality. It's good enough that you can generally get away with picking one CRF value that's transparent to you, but it's not constant enough to evaluate other options.
