Building from foundation vs. Adding sq. ft. to existing structure

1200 sq. ft. house with some reasonable comps, however most are larger and have additional bath rooms. What kind of cost should I expect to: 1. Tear the house down, and start from scratch? 2. Add a second story to the house just like others in the neighborhood? (blow off roof, build up) Both options seem reasonable because the sq. footage will be JUST the same. Cost?
