DHCP Reservation vs Mac address filtering. Are they the same security?

DHCP Reservation vs Mac address filtering. Are they the same security?

I am able to give an ip address to a wired/wireless device based on the
mac address. Other automatic DHCP is turned off.
Is this as effective as a security measure as MAC filtering?
It just seems to be an extra step on MAC filtering. I dont know why the
interfaces are not merged as one. Hence the question to make sure I do not
make a security mistake.
