Yes, this won't be a big difference. Total pro-Romney spending including pacs outnumbered pro-Obama ones in 2012, and 2014 which had higher D spending on Senate races saw turnout crater nonetheless.
But I'd say Democrats having enough money to counter it doesn't make the situation any better. Liberals should be mad about money in politics regardless of which side has more cash, because a democratic party relying on Bloomberg-style mega-donors prevents their politicians from supporting the necessary measures to curtail Wall Street excess, corporatism, etc, that would actually help the middle class which they claim to stand for. Instead Democrats need the cash so they have to not offend their donors.
