Well, first off, you would have done better to have quarantined the new budgie for a month before introducing them. However, if you've introduced them and they get along, you don't need to keep them apart - since the new budgie would already have passed on any diseases to the older budgie.
My guess is the older budgie is biting you because it wants out and to get to the new budgie! I wouldn't hold it against him.
I do find it odd that after 1 week you're ready to rehome the budgie you've had for years in favour of the new one. Does the older budgie have issues you haven't mentioned?
