If your user base is uncomfortable with significant changes to your design or interface, you should take that into account. Why are you changing the design or interface? Is it really improving their experience, or is it just because you like the new one better? Why not roll out a new design in lots of small changes over the course of a year or more, so that people don't tend to feel as disoriented? You should keep in mind that a lot of people out there don't have the learned ability to glance at a screen and immediately pick out the relevant bits. Many of them deal with lots of different interfaces every day. When you radically change your design, for these people it's like having to learn a whole new site all over again.
