Obviously you can use the hardware ARs of 1 and zero to move between primary
and secondary.

The advantage of MVCP/MVCSK, etc. are that they allow a move from a different
key area while not in key0 to avoid overlays  If you are planning a very big
move it would be quite likely that your source will consist of multiple keys
so if using MVCL in key0 be very very careful.
