If you're not paging with your current workload and system configuration then adding real storage isn't going to make any difference. However the point of all of that storage is to enable workload growth. You may discover that you have latent demand that your big new huffer can satisfy and in the course of doing that you will probably need more memory and/or more images. As the old adage goes... "suck it and see".
