Should I get 1.74 or 1.67 high index for my -7.00 prescription?

My glasses (size: 50/18), which I have been using for 7 years, is -7.00 and have high index lens of 1.74 and I love them! They're thin and very nice.

However, since it is 7 years, I am thinking of getting a new pair of glasses. My prescription is still -7.00 on both eyes. But I am debating whether I should get 1.67 high index instead of 1.74 because the price difference between the two is huge (Yes, I could afford 1.74 back then because I had a job, now I am in med school, not working since school is too busy).

My question is, will 1.67 high index looks similar to my 1.74? I like them nice and thin.
