Hi John: I'm pleased to discover of your success and that your approach appears to be working for you. I recall coming across a dated, but still useful, explanation discussing upgrading across versions. Unfortunately I had not recalled exactly where the reference was located.
It does correct my previous submission on this topic however at the risk of reading too much into a phrase, I would like to highlight and express my modified concern. The link is here: http://us.fixstars.com/products/faq/upgrade.shtml The phrase, embedded in the first sentence reflecting my caution begins with "usually". Hopefully, recalling this could be helpful in the future should you need to track down a recurring anomaly.
