The technical advancements found in the remake are something you're interested in though, whereas I'm indifferent about it. In fact the only reason I have a copy of the HD version is that, along with a handful of other titles, it came with the PS3 and as such has been sat there unplayed for quite some time. If I ever feel the need to revisit SotC then I have copy. I see no reason to upgrade to the remake to achieve this, regardless of the technical improvements. It's the same reason I haven't bought a single remaster this generation, I'm just not that fussed.
*edit* That's not to say I don't appreciate the the technical improvements on display in this remake, and at one time I did consider buying it, but on reflection it's not something I really want and, as I said above, if I wish to revisit SotC at any time then I have a version. Might not be the best version, but at its core it's still the same game.
