"If the difference between two magic items is merely an improvement in the basic abilities of the item, it is considered an upgrade." LGCS p. 16.

Essentially what that means is that if there is one entry for the magic item listing both the lesser and greater items then yes, you can upgrade between them. If not, you're pretty much SOL.

The specific item was a Choker of Eloquence, which moves from a +5 to +10 skill bonus item - I'm pretty sure that fits within the upgrade guidelines.
