If you have enough time for keeping your database down then as you said you
can experiment on it,cause the export import definetly takes time, it is
better to ship the files and bring up the database.
Recently I had an issue of moving a database from NT TO unix that too from
7.3.4 to 8.1.7,Man it was too slow.If the database files were portable
across operating systems then shipping files would have made my life more
easier.
Well all the best
