I've never noticed a difference. Mobi seems to do images quite well enough for the portable reading devices for which these books appear to be intended.
From a practical point of view, most books today will be formatted to look pretty much the same in either format, Kindle still being the most popular reader, so I doubt anyone would go to the trouble of publishing distinctly different versions for epub and mobi. Publishers tend create with the common, and easily inter-convertable, features in mind.
As an owner of both an epub and a mobi reader, however, if you happen to have any examples of epubs that highlight something epub can do over mobi, that is of any practical value to the reader , I would be curious to see it. Otherwise the differences seem to be academic, or limited to a tiny niche of the market at best.
