Dis-appointed

Is it possible to get them to show the same result.
update-manager says I need 315 files @ 302mb to download
synaptic says 315 @ 318mb (using "mark all upgrades" button, then going the summary via the apply button )
this is on a machine with a clean install of maverick without anything new installed/changed from the defaults. Are these the same 315 packages and is it just a discrepancy in the way they calculate the size?
I used "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -s --print-uris > upgrade.txt" to get me the same 315 packages, but unfortunately it seems the simulation switch (-s) stops it from actually printing the uris (which would include the size info) so no help in trying to establish where/what the discrepancy is.
This is just the 1st step in me understanding the whole process so I can do what I outline in my long rambling post (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1736184) Although the suggestion one person made will help resolve my issues. It doesn't help me to understand the process so I can achieve my other goals.
