There are too many variables affecting the result. The best approach would
be to restore the database to a second instance, change the policy, let
the expiration run, ... and compare!

Subject: Space reclaimation by changing retention policy
Is there any way to quantify the amount of space that will be reclaimed
via changing a retention policy and letting expiration run until it's
done? For example, the current policy is 180 day/8 versions. If I
change that to 30 days/3 versions, how much space would I gain? I'm
sure it's quite substantial, but I need to be able to quantify it.
Thanks!
-Jon
