Raw speed is better than latency.

But you probably don't need to buy anything. If you are running CL8 RAM at 1600 you can almost certainly overclock it to 2400 CL11 at 1.65v like the Kingston in your link.

In general most of these RAM modules are the same, the manufacturers just slow the timings and increase voltages to get them to run faster.
