It has higher airflow at lower pressure due to the large surface area. That equals higher performance with low pressure fans. Radiator thickness has got something to say as well, but frontal area is the most important factor.
The PA160 is 160mm*160mm = 25600mm^2 (a normal 120mm rad i only 56% of that)
Two of them is then 2*25600mm^2 = 51200mm^2
A large radiator, say 250mm*250mm is 62500mm^2 and will, with a resonable thickness have less airflow resistance than two PA160.
The unveiling of the new PA rads is comming up soon, in any case I reckon you should have a peek at them before you decide on anything.
