difference - I find X to be Y vs. I find that X is Y


I wonder whether there exists any difference between the following two sentence structures:



  • I find X to be Y


  • I find that X is Y

  • I find the research literature not to be optimally organized.

  • I find that the research literature is not optimally organized.


Do they carry a similar meaning, and can they be used interchangeably?
