Yes, but since our page rate is <1 I'm wondering if what we may gain with 8G main would be more than lost during those rare occasions that it does really have to page to DASD which in this case is a shark (ESS 2105). Maybe splitting hairs.
So look at it from the other side: what do you thing you are going to save on paging by taking the expanded storage away and make it main memory ? Less that one per second, so probably not impressive performance improvement. But by doing so you do run the risk that *if* for some reason you would encourage CP to free up some memory and do some paging (for example because you do maintenance and have MAINT defined large to save segments) you might actually notice the performance penalty for that.
