If you compare two identical objects, where one of the objects has better res and more tris, there's no question which object is of a better quality.
I could made a very poorly optimised model with far more tris and that might not help. I could add so many tiny details to a model that the tris goes through the roof. Does that make it better quality?
No.

I'm talking about model quality.

I'm pretty sure that you can't increase the quality of a model without changing it's overall appearance without increasing the number of vertices.
I guess I haven't considered that he was talking about model design, rather than visual quality. Seems to me that most of current unv models excede trem models in quality (or whatever your definition of quality might be).
I think better texture quality is aimed more than tris count. I'd rather a squarish HD model from tremulous than the current grayish human we have now honestly.
