This is more likely caused by either an issue with your ductwork or possibly deflectors diverting more air to one side of your home than the other. A new furnace wont fix this. Look at the main trunk of duct work leaving your furnace from the heat exchanger, there may be a handle looking thing. If you see one, I'll bet that's why one side of your home is warmer than the other. Try setting it to the middle and see if that improves the heat flow around your home. If there isn't anything like that, you may have a break in your ductwork or maybe they need cleaning.
If you current furnace is working fine, I'd strongly encourage you to just stick with it. Unless it's completely dead in the water, there is almost no value in replacing it.
