There's a whole host of variables to consider and you need to choose wisely. Hopefully you could find some local knowledge from someone who specializes in this sort of thing.
Oh, you might look into a "deep energy retrofit" - it'll likely go further than you're interested in BUT there might be some good ideas too.
I once got a quote from an insulation contractor who seemed more or less willing to blow insulation wherever I pointed. NOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I wanted someone who understood what they're doing.
What are your energy rates like? Have you done a home energy analysis?
My older home is poorly insulated and drafty yet somehow our energy bills compare well to newer construction. It doesn't make sense but I'm not in a rush to insulate.
