you might not get all possible updates, depending on your settings for
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS in make.conf :-)

I think, if you have a look at the emerge option
--with-bdeps < y | n >
you should be able to get really, really all possible updates with 
emerge and without further gimmicks.

There should not be any difference if you use the mentioned option to 
emerge.


Just my 2 cents.
