To swap or not my 88 forks

I am finishing refreshing my 88 CR500. The bike is set up for tight east coast trails and had a wide ratio HRC kit installed. My concern is that I don't know if revalving/refreshing my forks or swap them with newer forks. I am going to be 50 soon and want a suspension that is trouble free, very plush, and handle very good in trails. Your input is greatly appreciated.

I love conventional forks and find them to be some of the plushest around, I would valve for what you like.
