Apart from other considerations, keep in mind that after (2), your shiny
replicated PUB on the 7845-H2 will be in the vile "upgrades ar not allowed
in license grace period" state of affairs. Even though you aren't planning
to use it for anything but to upgrade and export again, you are forced to
deal with licensing and get the PUB licensed on this hardware. Plan more
or less a week for that step of engineer time wasted to applied control
freakery...
