Yeah, it probably isn't much different from doing that. I run a sort of mixed environment - ~amd64 where I need it, along with ~x86 sometimes, and then amd64 everywhere else.
I question whether you should look at it as an 'upgrade' though. I don't. I consider it sort of a 'side grade'. It's not that ~amd64 is really 'better' in all cases. I view it as more of a tool to be used when it's needed. I go sideways into ~amd64 when certain apps seem to require me to do that. Other than that I feel fine with amd64. I would NOT do it in any global way. ALL times I use ~amd64 I do it within /etc/portage/package.keywords. Much easier to manage. That's just me....
