Only at mid/high bitrate (1.5Mbps is NOT low bitrate) and if the encoder is only using brute-force RD optims. Once you start adding things like psychovisual frame optimizations, ROI or anti-flickering, then simple frame by frame comparisons using psnr or ssim are starting to be less relevant.

(unless you are not encoding video for human viewers but for stuff like latter-stage segmentation, objects extractions,...)
