Difference between clipping Safari page to formatted note and copying/pasting into formatted note

Did sharing open the Clip to DEVONthink or Take Note tab of the Sorter? Depending on the selection and what’s provided by the source application this might vary.

However, right now usage of services like DEVONthink 3: Take Formatted Note (see System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services) or the Sorter’s Copy Selection hotky (see Preferences > Sorter) are recommended.
