I would say it is more like going from a 32" TV to a 42" TV - you will see the same but more magnified (up to about 70 degrees FOV as most people have said already). Beyond this as you move to the ultrawide FOV of the naglers I would describe it as seeing the extra FOV as 'peripheral vision'. Not all peoples eyes are the same though. Your best bet is to attend an astronomy meetup/starparty and try looking through all the different eyepieces you are considering and then you will know what you want.
