Upgrading from 80mm to 140mm suspension fork?

I have an 80mm RST CAPA ML suspension fork. it's not bad, but it has literally no small bump sensitivity. it's great for medium speed going over small-medium rocks, but I want to upgrade sometime soon. I'm looking at the RST deuce. I know that the extra 60mm of travel will void the warranty, but I only have like a year left anyway. I also know that it will change the geometry, but I was wondering just how much the geometry would change. the thing is that there's little to no sag when I lean on the CAPA without bouncing on it (stupid coil shock! XD) and I know that since the Deuce is air, there should be a fair amount of sag when I lean on it. I like the deuce because it's fairly cheap and most reviews of it are good. I can't afford like an 80mm reba that would actually fit my bike perfectly.
My question is this:What would change if/when I upgrade the fork, how much sag can I expect, and is it a good upgrade that would work??
