If you're changing anyway, you might reconsider and directly go for /64s
(a single /48 holds more than enough of them).  

There's a distinct chance that a 64 bit host ID will eventually become 
important to do automatic IPSEC ("crypto generated addresses") and 
you'll really want to avoid having to renumber all links then.
