I, too, think that there is a difference in the calculation of the filter
factors, and, probably more important, there will be different default filter
factors, if proper filter factors can not be calculated due to the use of host
variables and NOREOPT(VARS).

I always recommend to use BETWEEN, if if meets the needs of the application.

Kind regards
