USB-A to C vs. Straight USB-C Charging Rates

I was curious, since I have quite a few USB-A Quick Charge 2.0 chargers, if there is any advantage to using a USB-C charger and cable, over a USB-A Charger with an A to C Cable?

I have compared the factory charger with several of my aftermarket QC 2.0 chargers/Cables and I get pretty much the same rate with both. Using the Ampere app I was able to get 1030 mA on both the Factory Samsung Charger/Cable and the aftermarket QC 2.0 Chargers/Cables (Anker and Aukey Brands).

Has anyone invested in a USB-C Charger/Cable that they could see if the Note 7 takes advantage of the higher Voltage/Amp of the USB-C platform?

Just wondering if it is worth it to step up the the USB-C Charger/Cable combination, since I already have quite a few QC 2.0 (USB-A) Chargers...

Just for reference I was getting ~540 mA charging rate using a couple different Standard Qi Wireless chargers. I guess the same question could be asked about the Qi Rapid Chargers, has anybody measured the charging rate with Ampere for a comparison?
