If you are _only_ running office then I doubt you would see much improvement. As you start to throw more things into the mix, there will come a point where the reduced disk swapping from the extra ram gives you a slight advantage, especially when changing between apps, or running apps that do background processing. Add still more stuff, and the extra ram will be swapped in & out as well, so the benefit is reduced.
