Is there any benefit to switching to a newer dual field regulator when doing this swap, (I already have an newer solid state regulator for the older single field alt?)

You're in good shape. FYI the flat later reg will nestle neatly into the recess where the old "box" reg mounts if you trim the mounting ears on the sides and redrill one of the holes.
