More/better

Do these two sound equally fine? If they do, what is the difference in meaning?

·If you see him in person, you will understand all the more what he meant to say.
·If you see him in person, you will understand all the better what he meant to say.

i don't see much difference in your sentences, I could try to argue this way. all the more focuses on a larger amount of understanding. all the better focuses on a superior quality of understanding.
