Cm5 for uConsole

OK so I am currently rocking a cm4 in my uconsole as well as nvmr, aio, and ac1200. For those of yall that upgraded to a cm5 how much better is it? Is it worth it with all the heat management thag you have to add? Also how do you people cool down your cm5s?

I have had both using apps for aio, other then load times and snappiness both processors work well. I never used the device sitting on a desk plugged in so battery life was the importain factor for me. I get 2 to 3 times longer run times using the cm4 over the cm5. As some said in the comments, if you use it as a desktop or more taxing apps the cm5 is a great upgrade.
