It not worth upgrading he UM2 or UM2 extended to UM3. The cost would not be much different then buying a UM3 as the change is bigger then you may think.
But have a look at this tool change approach as it's the best option for dual printing with a UM2
Besides that, a practical answer would also be that there is no upgrade pack available to upgrade your Ultimaker 2 into an Ultimaker 3.
Like @Lance said, the required changes are too big. A community approach like the magnetic tool change could be interesting, however those files are not (yet?) available but it may be an inspiration to what is possible to do. Basically everything down that path, if you want to do it yourself, requires quite some technical knowledge.
