RAID 5 ok or go with RAID 10 always?

I have 2 DELL r710 host servers with esxi 6. The first server was configured with RAID 5 due to needing the hard drive space. I now have 6 900GB 10k SAS disks to go into the 2nd host server. Is there really a noticeable difference in performance going with a RAID 10 that will leave me with 2.7TBs of disk space? RAID 5 gives me 4.5TBs of disk space which is a pretty big difference.
