You probably need to recreate manually as much of the configuration as possible since you're switching between two totally different hardware configurations. It sounds like ports could go all over the place after reading some of the other comments. That's how I switch platforms. you should still be able to export small segments like firewall rules after configuring the individual ports accordingly.

I copied the config from the 433 to the 450g and it doesn't work. The port I have as ether1 showed up red in winbox.
