I don’t know f you want to make the argument that Kill Bill is going to be the best QT film ever because he has been directing longer.  Is Episode I better than Episode IV?  Why not?  George Lucas had been directing longer, shouldn’t Episode I be the better film?
How about the Godfather vs. Godfather III?  Mean streets or raging bull vs. Gangs of New York?

The George Lucas example isn’t really the best example though seeing as he made 3 films and then quit directing for 20 years so he was not exactly going to be in the best position for following up one of the most successful sci-fi series of films ever.  The Francis Ford Coppola/ Martin Scorsese points make sense though.
