How much better will a Push/Pull configuration be compared to just push or pull?

I am thinking about doing a push/pull on my Scythe Mugen 2 on an i7-920 in Antec P182. I was hoping for more than just one or two degrees though. Maybe the Antec 1200 case you have has such good flow it doesnt make as much of a difference?

I believe so. As the air pushes through the heatsink, it's greeted by dual exhaust fans.
 
I have a Cogage True Spirit on my i7-930 @ 4GHz and I have seen maybe a 1-2 degree drop in temps after I added a second fan (two Scythe Slipstream 120mm PWM 1300rpm fans). I have great case airflow, so that may be the key to my great temps. Granted it is realtively cool here, but when the summer rolls around in 5-6 months it may perform better than a single fan.
