The only problem I see with dd is that it won't do any error checking,
afaik. Will you have the old drive in as #2 later to double check?
The other option is clonezilla. It will be a bit more work for you, but
you can script it to clone the partitions / drives / copy boot loaders
and so on. Then the remote assistant can just boot it (from usb key
even) and press go!
