What is the quality like of the outputted file?

I have a Sony XR-520VE Camcorder which records 1920 x 1080i50 footage at 16Mb/s with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround @ 448kb/s I believe.

If I use Turbo.264 HD to convert the AVCHD files to H.264, will the resulting quality of the file in terms of sharpness and colour/brightness, be equal to that of the original AVCHD if the file is encoded at the same settings (16Mb/s, 1080 deinterlaced to 25p, 5.1 Surround @ 448Kb/s)

iMovie creates stunning files, equivalent to the originals, but takes ages.
If Turbo.264 HD can produce the same files, in much less time, I would be over the moon.
