For encoding, you will want to maximize cores & clock, which the 5820k will have better overall throughput, but the 6700K isn't that far behind. Maybe 10-15% or so.
* not that much slower for encoding tasks
The 6700K enjoys 30% greater clocks at stock.
Once overclocked to their respective maximums the clock speed difference is 5-10% (in favor of the 6700K); in this circumstance the 5820K really pulls away in encoding tasks.
With an expected usage of 20% encoding time it would be silly to not get the 5820K.
