How much of an improvement would a corsair 360mm AIO such as the H150i Pro be over one of their 240mm AIO units such as the H100i GTX?

I'm currently running an overclocked 5820k with an H100i GTX and while it "works", I've always felt that the H100i GTX is borderline overwhelmed by the heat output of the overclocked 5820k, even when running 4 upgraded high-RPM fans in push-pull. Would the increased radiator size of a 360mm AIO make a significant difference in a situation like this?

I would like to eventually upgrade to an 8 or 10 core CPU, but I don't see my h100i GTX being able to handle that. I wouldn't mind upgrading to a 360mm AIO now, enjoying the lower temps now on my hex-core while opening up my CPU upgrade options, but I don't want to spend $200 on a new AIO if it's not going to make much of a difference.

Corsair reallly needs to update their H105 or 240mm 'fat'. It is now over 3 years old, but could match other 360mm and 280mm slim models.

Likewise, my H80i v2 or 120mm 'fat' does just as good or better than 240mm slim models.
