That has been my experience. I was very surprised when I did a
comparison test of an extreme upsampling between the Stairstep Pro 2
which I have always liked, and PSCS2 bicubic smoother. In my
comparisons the PS looked a little better with less obvious artifacts
around the edges of pixels. But sharpening is always an important
factor in the end. I always fade the sharpening 50% in the luminosity
channel and that helps, especially in the highlights.
