New style can handle more power. Other than that there isn't a reason to spend the money to upgrade to new series. If you're happy with how they sound keep them.
If you're going to spend the money to upgrade I would upgrade to better speakers that will still work nicely on 1000watts. Maybe a pair of OZ Matrix Elites or JL W6v2's.

there is far more difference between an old type r and the new one than just power handling, perhaps you should educate yourself before feel qualified to pass such and uninformed opinion..... the new trpe r woofer uses radically different cooling in the basket, eddy plates in the pole vent, a different surround that gives it far more linearity at high excusrion, a lighter more rigid cone, completely different spiders,the diffences are far more than just power handling, its so different that there is at least a dozen pending pattents on the new typr r and x

yeah i heared that new type r's are built similar to type x's
i just can get this upgrade for under 150$ since my brother would buy my current type r's
i just dont know if its worth it or not
id be using the same box and i dont know if that is okay for this subs or alse if 200WRMS higher subs will be much louder to be able to notice or not
btw is there such thing a rule that say extra 'x' Watts increased db's by 'x'?

I'll say it again as I believe TheBoy will need to read it at least twice before he understands something; If you've got an old style Type R and are looking to upgrade you should look into other drivers as just dumping an old style R for a new style R in terms of performance will not be worth it.

I've listened to both. Many many times. Old Type R is a good sounding speaker and solid for the money. New Type R is a good sounding speaker and solid for the money. Would I consider the difference in performance from old series to new series worth the cost of buying the new Type R's vs that of other driver's available for someone looking for a better driver than the old series? NO!
