For reference, Paul Phillips has argued that with a player like Phil Ivey, doubling a chip stack could more then double their tournament equity.

If you double quickly and a few others at the table also have large stacks, that doesnt have to erode you advantage. The safety factor is somewhat reduced, but a large part of the advantage comes from stack:blinds. Deeper stacks/larger implied odds, great reward for a skilled player.
