For me all that matters it is the quality. I've tried you code to reduce a 500px image to 75px and compared the quality of both images. I must admit that the newer method is faster and that the result is quite good but it doesn't match the quality of Image.getScaledInstance(). Image.getScaledInstance() generates a smoother image.
