I've got a well sorted gen II which I genuinely love to bits, and I've been fortunate enough to ride a well sorted gen I similar spec to yours, albeit with an R6 shock conversion.
The bike you've got is a corker! You really won't be gaining much by changing it. The gen II is maybe slightly better handling, bit if your on the heavy side, you'll notice the lack of mid range torque on a standard bike, and the shock will need upgrading too.
You really have to tune the gen II to get the same low down thrust as a gen I, and this is gonna cost 5-6 hundred quid.
It all depends on what you want to do with the bike.
Also, the gen II isn't a good distance bike.

Stop polishing it and ride the bloody thing!!
