I think the 15 will make your lower bass tones sound cleaner and hit harder. What solobaric is it? An L5, L7, or is it round? Also, the solobarics sound best in a sealed box, which will take up more space than your 2 12's. That's assuming that the 12's are in a ported box of course.

Hope that helps,
Paul

It'll definitely play lower, but probably won't be any louder or hit harder. I assume by old you mean the round ones. They're pretty decent, but I think two 12s will be louder. If you want to go louder, start with getting a larger amp. At least 1200 watts and then work on replacing your 12s with something else. JMO though.
