Is the quantum field an aether?

Hi,

I don't understand: On the one hand with special relativity Einstein
got rid of the aether - the medium which electromagnetic waves use to
travel and which can be used as an absolute reference system. On the
other hand in quantum field theory quantum fields are invented which
fill all space and which are the "medium" for particle waves. Isn't
this reinventing the aether? In what way is this 'aether' bettern than
the one Einstein got rid?

Thanks for help,
Pedro
