The results are the same. There is a fundamental limit here in 400x400 pixels that cannot be improved upon. These fine lines that are nearly vertical or horizontal will always show a moire pattern - they cannot be eliminated.
However, the bad moire in the upper right corner is gone and it was already gone at 800x800 which was a very fast render. You might conclude as a rule of thumb that rendering at 2x the intended resolution will produce very close to the best possible image quality. The incremental gains of a 4x render (at least for this particular test case) are not worthy.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
