I do not understand the behaviour of the \sc macro. I thought smallcaps would turn out to be smaller than capitals. But I see no difference between them except a subtle difference in letterspacing. Am I doing something wrong here?

Minimal example and output:

\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\starttext
\setupbodyfont[lmodern]
lmodern: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank
\setupbodyfont[cambria]
cambria: uppercase <ABC-{\sc ABC}> smallcaps\blank
\LuaTeX-version=0.\the\luatexversion\crlf
\ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\crlf
\stoptext
