There are some tools that can be used to compare flash files. IIRC the "verify" option in the Quartus programmer will just tell you "failed" if there is a difference, without telling you more information. But if you read back the flash contents and use a tool such as srec_cmp from the srecord package (http://srecord.sourceforge.net/) can give you more information about differences between to flash files.
