I would use neither, you really need mortar for steps. Poly sand is really only meant for one layer of paver that are directly on the ground.
You can probably put the new steps over the old ones, I would probably deconstruct some of what you have there first to make sure the new ones are really solid though.
Makes sense. We briefly looked into mortar, but kept bumping into the other 2 options. Probably a case of DIYers trying to minimize work though.
Thanks for the advice!
