I've recently used the exmerge route in a small organization.  The exmerge
and mailbox import worked on the sub 2GB mailboxes, although about 25%
needed to be tried twice as they failed to match file sizes on both ends.
No errors, just didn't get everything.

In another organization, one of my colleagues used cached mode psts on the
client, some up to 4.5 GB.  Then he connected to the new exchange server and
the cached data imported itself to the new exchange.  Not sure of the
details, but it apparently worked.

in both cases, the main drawback was not being able to update calendar items
in the new domain.  users were unable to impersonate the old user to send
meeting updates.  All old meetings had to be recreated before they could be
updated with time changes or the like.

Obviously, neither route scales well.  but with a small number, they worked
okay.
