Subject: [CR]Upgrading a classic

I'm afraid this is going to start a raging debate, but here goes anyway. What's the general feeling on upgrading a classic bike with other vintage components?

Given a classic bike with original, mid-level components, what are the pros and cons of replacing those with better componenets of a similar vintage? In my case, I'm not fond of the original components on my track bike, but I really like other components from that time period.

Thanks
