Not similar results at all. -Y is producing much larger files with less spread across
the
bitrates. A graph of the -Y results doesn't look natural in my opinion with the sharp
drop
after 160. There is also less change to average bitrates when changing -V values.
-V9 just
droped the average by 20kb/s as shown (5 minute song).
