Theoretically the new media are sonicly superior, but the difference is less than what can occur simply because of better recording and mixing. In other words there are well made CD that sound better than poorly made SACD.
I am a big SACD and DVDA fan, but, unless you will properly utilize their multichannel and video capability I don't think it is worthwhile merely for stereo. "Properly", by the way, means that you invest in first class speakers and amplification for the three additional channels. Skimping on those channels will lead to disapointment.
