It depends, for the most part no. I'm only keeping my older stuff until I can find replacements. If you have really old stuff it may have stats you can't find on the newer stuff (agi, dex, resistance). But its not often that it would still be better then a no burden item.
I guess that is especially the case for old phase. I have some good phase prof items with resist and attack accuracy. And AGI and DEX of course. So those can still be pretty interesting and perhaps better than the gossamer. Though gossamer is easy to upgrade..
Well I guess I can dump my cotton at least. And most gossamer while I'm at it.
