Update or re-release?

We decided to remake/overhaul one of our previous games, adding all the up to date "modern" features of our more recent releases. The game will be new to Steam as it was not on that platform originally, however it was released on here and Gamejolt awhile ago. We will be adding a price tag onto the new version, however if it goes through an update the older free version will no longer be available. Re-releasing the game on here and Gamejolt feels a bit "cheaty" or "cheap" to us though. So we're not quite sure what would be preferred by our "audience" or new players, which is why I'm asking here. Like I said the game would update to have a price tag which would likely revoke access to anyone who downloaded the old version for free. 

Any opinions?

Main reason for it feeling wrong to re-release it is that the new game would be re-indexed.

If the new version is such a big upgrade, it's probably okay to make another game page and keep the old one free.
