The cost of upgrading these components isn't huge, relatively speakeing.

For me I would ask myself If I you like to listen to music without a sub, If yes, I'd go for the upgrade to the 80's. I doubt you'd hear much difference between the 80's and 60's for movies (assuming you have a good quality sub).

VP150 to VP180 is highly recommended if your room can accomodate the physical size. It is a huge speaker and may not look right in most formal living rooms. Dedicated HT room shouldn't be an issue.

Once you've had VP180, you never go back!
