Whether it is a worthwhile upgrade or not depends on your usage and needs.
Certainly not a critical upgrade.

What's New?
There's been a massive update from our 2018 EOTopo version.
Firstly, to create the 2019 product we've conducted another full data conflation analysis, which means we've gone back to the various data sources we used to build the 2018 version and cross-referenced new changes since the 2018 data extraction and have brought all these changes into our 2019 release. The data conflation includes cross-referencing OSM data, the latest parks/forestry data, and the latest ExplorOz
Places database. This data covers roads, parks, airports, national parks, state forests, water bodies, lakes, walking
trails etc and either added or removed data since the last data conflation (which was Dec 2017), to 28th May 2019.
We've also modified the symbol-style across the whole map, which results in a cleaner, crisp overall look. This change has affected the depiction of state borders, the colour used of road lines for ExplorOz Trek Notes (changed from purple to dotted black/white), and land use areas have changed. Whilst only subtle, this makes an improvement on what was already a great product.
