Default Arctic Silver variations?

I've still got a stockpile of Arctic Silver 2 that I'm working through. I'm putting in new blocks now, and I wonder if it's worth it to move up to 5, ceramique, etc.

I know they have some published numbers on their site, but if I read it correctly, AS2 actually has a lower C/W number than AS5. I'm guessing that's not right. Given that the block/die junction is probably the most important part in a cooling system, do these different iterations of transfer compounds make a big difference? Most folks would probably never know for sure, but I'm guessing some of you procoolers have tested the same system with different pastes.
