 What is the difference in cooling ability between R12 and R134?

I haven't converted a vanagon yet, but  I believe that with the new receiver
drier and the system being refurbished, it will probably cool 5 degrees cooler
than with the old version.   The benifit will be the cheap cost for R134
freeon, versus $35 to $40 a pound for R12 freeon.  Sorry I don't have real
figures for you.
