Should I replace old blow in attic insulation with new roll out insulation

insulation

I have attic filled with old grey blow in insulation. I estimate it to be 20-30 years old. I suspect that it causes a lot of dust in a house. Plus any work in attic would stir it and some will end up in rooms.
So should I just remove it and replace with new insulation that comes in rolls? I think it would insulate better, too.

Pros and cons?

Replacing doesn't make fiscal sense. Nothing wrong with the old insulation unless it's been disturbed and compressed. Just add NON-faced batt insulation on top of the existing.

Or you could blow in more insulation - but then you'll find out what dust is really like.
