I, too, would recommend you to avoid the hassle of separate instances. I'm talking from experience here. Since you're using 1.4, you're probably using JSPUI, right? I can't speak for JSPUI don't have much experience with, but XMLUI allows you to search within a community (or a collection, for that matter), so it would be easy to have 2 distinct, separately searchable, separately themed repositories on a single instance. Theoretically, you could even have them on separate domains with some minor Apache magic. If you have any other reasons for splitting, I'll try to address them. > Would there be a way to split the two repositories if we only maintain the > handles for one of the instances?

Actually, we're currently testing our own solution for 1 handle prefix with 2 (or more) DSpace instances (and will probably try to push it upstream), so I can help you if you decide to do the same. But I would really recommend to rather avoid this. Let us know your other reasons for splitting. BTW the upgrade procedure I described holds even if you decide for a single repository, so you can start right away and postpone that decision a little.
