Is upgrading my air pump worth it??

I currently am running a single outlet 3.2L/min pump in a 3.5Gal bucket. Will upgrading to the 7.8L/min pump make a worthwhile difference?

before I got enlightened to coco I used a powerhead w/aerator in lieu of a diaphragm air pump....
even better; mount the powerhead and return in such a way that it blast the water surface like a faucet....

trust me: this setup is 20X more efficient and reliable than any air pump

if you need more detail, pm me ...I've owed literally dozens if not close to a hundred powerhead, airpumps et et

I use a 110 lpm active aqua on 8 buckets. Was running a 70 lpm but wasn't quite there imo. Now they froth and churn. Plants seemed to love the upgrade.
