There is one subtle difference you should be aware of:

(1) If you change the size of the default font of a live frame, that
    frame's size may change unless you rule out implied resizing for it.

(2) If you change the font in all windows showing a buffer by adjusting
    that buffer's text scaling, frame sizes will stay the same.

So you have to be precise about the "something that scales" you want.
