"Resistor quality makes quite a difference with SMD being inferior."
In what manner? I've used both over the years in various things and believe that they are largely the same given the same ilk of resistive element. There are some general differences between the two packages however namely leaded devices are apt to have more inductance while SMT packages are more likely to be flexure sensitive.
Now take your example: "Please tell me you're not gong to say a resistor is a resistor or that an SMD soldered on a pad on a PCB is as good as a point to point wired through hole."
You've convolved too many variables. If you really want to check it out fairly, try both styles in the same application. If you are soldering the leaded resistors to switch terminals tack some wires onto the SMT device and do it the same way. Likewise using them on PCB's, solder them to the same pads. And be certain that the resistive element is the same material and style, metal film I presume since it has far less excess noise than carbon.
