Reasons to change to a new toilet:
-Your 1980's toilet is using 20L of water per flush. The new ones are 6L or under. Even with only me as the user, I found that I saved 2-3 cubes of water per month.
-The coating in your old one is wearing to the point where the water ring shows up in a week or 2
-Elongated is soooo much more comfortable
-You can get 'comfort height' if that's your thing
-You can get a soft close seat; I've definitely slammed a few friends' toilets by accident nowadays

Considering what a toilet goes through in it's lifetime I don't know why people don't replace them more often. It doesnn;t matter how clean you are they still get grungy over time, for a couple hundred bucks its a nice thing to change when you buy a new house. And the upgrade for the other reasons you mention should make it a no brainer.
It takes less than an hour to change a toilet with common tools.
