I understand you feelings. There probably isn't much benefit if you go but you heart isn't in it. In saying that though, it does matter which service you attend according to Catholic theology. The Mass is full of important theology, and if the New Mass is not fulfilling that thne we have a serious problem as it could result in such things as Catholics failing to fulfill their sabbath obligations and not recieving the Real Presence.
The New Mass basically resembles a Protestant service more than a Catholic Mass, which isn't suprising as it's authors were a clergyman who was later exiled from the Vatican on suspicion of being a Freemason + six Protesnat ministers (didn't they even insert Lutheran prayers?). Which is fine if you are a Protestant. Not so good if you are a Catholic though 
The New Mass began as an experiment under a different name before Vatican II, proposed by modernist theologians and clergy.
It was universally rejected by the Church as defective and ambigious, temming with liberal errors and insinuations.
They merely ressurected it and gave it a new name for Vatican II.

The Irish are one of the most ancient nations that I know of at this end of the world, and are from as mighty a race as the world ever brought forth.
For it is certain that Ireland hath had the use of letters very anciently and long before England; that they had letters anciently is nothing doubtful, for the Saxons of England are said to have their letters and learning, and learned men, from the Irish.
- Edmund Spenser (writer, and British Government Official in Ireland, AD 1596).
The renaissance began in Ireland seven hundred years before it was known in Italy. And Armagh, the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland, was at one time the metropolis of civilisation.
- Arsene Darmesteter, Professor of Old French and Literature
Ireland can indeed lay claim to a great past; she can not only boast of having been the birthplace and abode of high culture in the fifth and sixth centuries . . . but also of having made strenous efforts in the seventh and up to the tenth century to spread her learning among the German and Romance peoples, thus forming the actual fountain of our present continental civilisation.
