That is a primary difference.

I was with you up until here. Depending on the type of opponent you're playing, I think the other differences can be more important.

The other main differences I see are: 1) with QJ we only chop against QJxx -- the most likely hand for opponent to have other than the hand that beats us, and 2) there should usually be more QQxx combinations in our opponents range of playable hands than JJxx combinations.
One other very small difference is that when we hold the QQ, there are more combinations to the stone-cold nuts out there (all JJxx hands) than when we hold QJ (only QQJx hands). So conceivably if you were playing against someone who would only raise with the absolute lock hand or occasionally on a bluff, then holding the QJ would be slightly better.
