Actually, they are not the same thing. Using the KindleUnpack plugin you can format shift from KF8 to ePub. That is not the same as converting from KF8 to ePub. Format shifting keeps the code as much the same as it can while creating the new format.
Sometimes format shifting doesn't work well because the underlying code is a mess. This happens a lot with self-published eBooks on Amazon. So in that case, converting can be the better option.
But when you do format shift, you do have to check for errors as there are some. In most cases, the errors are very easy to fix.
