Quicksilver processor upgrade easier than expected

Just curious - I looked a while back at the upgrades for my 933 QS and they seemed so expensive that it was almost worth it to get a used G5. Is the speed difference really that good? PS - Ill take the dual 1.25 if you have no plans for it and give it whirl in the QS. Please contact me
