Before you replace the tank make sure it's not waterlogged. This will cause excessive cycling.

These decisions all are based on your family needs and the future of usage/cost and how long you will live in your house. Do you use a large garden or whirlpool tub. If there are more than 3 people in the home, and your family is young and possibly growing or you have a large tub & you plan on staying in your home for 5 years or more.. I say replace to the next size up.
Then there is another school of thought. If you lived in a country like Zambia, you might have to send the females in your family 4 miles to bring back water in buckets... and would have never seen a storage tank.
Good Luck
