SaveAs uses hidden job settings that differ from the standard
Distiller job settings and for many people don't work as well -- it
just tends to be more problematic to produce consistent results. How
well it works varies a lot depending on your FM and Acrobat versions,
and whether you use the limited Distiller instance shipped with Frame
or the full version.
Saving as a PS file and then distilling keeps the entire production
inside Acrobat itself where it's more easily controlled -- there are
no hidden settings.
That said, there's no reason to do a two-step PS-then-distill process
when you can just Print to the Adobe PDF printer instance, which
produces the PS file and distills it in one step.
