The new door handle wants a larger hole, by 1/4 inch, than is on there. What to do? get a different door handle hoping for the right size hole, or , a new door???

Figured it out using the Related postings prior, and removed the anti-pry plate by prying it off. Oh, the irony. Thx, SE et al. Those lever type door handles are the bomb.

It'd be great to have some more info here, e.g. some pictures, to help others as you've also been helped. Commented May 30, 2016 at 2:20

Just for future reference for someone that may actually be in this situation.
You can get some types of holesaw arbor that will nest/stack within each other. You can then use the inner holesaw as the guide for the outer larger size.
Otherwise you could make up a jig/template, like say for example a simple one would be drill out a piece of scrap wood with the larger size hole and then clamp or temporarily fix it to the door. Then use this scrap piece as a guide.
