Depends on the system's configuration it might take much more time to
re-install and set up again the upgrade.

I've been upgrading Debian systems for many, many years and the upgrade
process for me has been shorter, for my systems, than installing+setup
(e.g. to change from 32 bit to 64 or adding a new computer).

After using a system for a long time if not very careful it might has a
set of personalisations that might be hard to do again from scratch.
Again: depends on the particular system.

Just my 2cents...
