if you like burning your money put the new one on .
i would wait till the one on the bike needs changed then change it . i look after my pennies

Considered this myself recently, but apparently there's not a lot of difference performance-wise, at least not for a road bike.

You'll not notice it though..

Just wait til you need to change the gear or you are wasting money
