Definitely the way to do it right there if you *have* to just clone it. 
  The best thing to do, though, and probably even the fastest, would be 
to do a quick new install to the bigger disk (less than 1/2 hr right) 
then copy configurations over from the old disk.  Everything will turn 
out much cleaner and better that way.
