Hi Harvey,
A more significant factor to consider than the presence of Paraflex shock absorbers is the larger case size and updated bracelet design on the ref. 214270 compared to your current ref. 114270. The Paraflex shock absorbers on the Cal. 3132 movement do offer a bit superior performance, but the Cal. 3130 in your watch does have shock absorbers too (Kif style), so the updated shock absorbers alone shouldn't be the primary reason to trade in your ref. 114270 for the current-production ref. 214270.
The extra 3mm in case diameter (39mm vs. 36mm) does make for a noticeably larger presence on the wrist, while the redesigned Oyster bracelet with completely solid links and a machined clasp is quite a bit heavier and more modern feeling than the Oyster bracelet that is on the ref. 114270. Both are excellent watches but the change from ref. 114270 to ref. 214270 does represent arguably the most significant update to occur since the collection was first introduced in 1953, so they are ultimately fairly different watches (despite sharing the same core aesthetic).
