Probably over simplified . . .
The difference that I see is the liquid. Crock pot has the meat in the
liquid and it will give up some of its flavor to it. SV has the product
sealed and the liquid bath surrounds it but does not interact with
anything but heat. You would get a different result, especially with
something like steak.
