I wouldn't lay a new roof over an architectural/laminate shingle roof and expect good results. As a contractor, jobs I get where new roof goes on old, the old always comes off. If for no other reason, I want to see the sheathing/framing beneath the shingles to assure there has been no water damage. I get where you are at with this, though, and this is your own home so different from hiring on. Tear-off (for me) is the larger part of the labor, plus there is disposal. If you have tab shingles then go for it.
