Question Character Texture Update

I've been thinking of doing a player texture update for a while now. I love the classic look of the models, but the textures make me cringe. I extracted them and some are a microscopic 32x64! It got me thinking about redoing them in a higher resolution now that the client can actually handle larger texture sizes. I did a little digging and found that the SoV armor textures were a 2x increase in size. I think I want to do them at 4x the classic size. To test it out I made a demo using a monk wearing full monk armor. For the test I didn't stick to the classic texture 100% because I felt the SoV armor textures had some better qualities to it.

Doing this is a HUGE amount of work, so I want to know for sure there are people out there that want this.

Update 8.28.11
Thanks for all your support guys. After months of work, the first release is almost ready. Initially I wasn't going to do faces because it seemed like a lot of work and I wasn't sure anyone would like it after the metro-sexual pirate monk fiasco (lol!!), but Nysus made some extremely nice looking faces and that convinced me it was worth it.

Here is the current progress of the initial release and some pictures of completed texture sets.

Character Texture Update v0.1:
Cloaks - Complete
Human Male Armor - Complete
Human Male Faces - In Progress (Nysus)
Human Female Armor - Complete
Human Female Faces - In Progress 12.5%

Pictures:
Cloaks
