Installing radiant barrier-What do you think?

Did a search on this and nothing came up. Hope this is the right place to post this. My house was built in 1957 and 5 years ago a new roof was put on with soffet and a ridge vent. The attic has about 10" of blown in insulation. The house is a one story ranch and is 1,000 sq. ft. I was wondering if it would be a benefit to add a radiant barrier in the attic. Everything I read about them seems to make sense but was wondering about how well they do work. Climate wise I live in Cedar Rapids Iowa where we have very hot summers and very cold winters. Thanks for your input!
