There are cost savings to be had. There is currently a promo when moving to new 5520 or 8540 hardware that is very compelling.
That said, brownfield where you are just migrating from standard licensing to C1 on the existing hardware doesn't make a lot of sense unless you want to add features. ISE, MSE/CMX, Prime Assurance... Ultimately it's going to depend on where you are in the lifecycle process. You should totally ping your Cisco Partner and have them run the numbers for you, so you can see what the right thing to do is.
