Since me and you have the same CPU and cooler, let me tell you yes...

I put 2 AF120's on my Seidon this morning and the temps dropped about 8 degrees. So is it worth it? Yes, yes it is.

A lot of difference.

The way that my rig is means that I can stop 1 fan at any time. If I do that, I feel the top of the rad warm up nearly instantly.

Ive made a really quick vid to demonstrate what i mean. Try to endure the whole 3 minutes of my bad camera skills
