This will work, but of course you will lose redundancy on the source array when you remove a drive. Getting a single new starter disk would overcome that problem, but of course will cost a bit more.

I've got 2x 2TB's and a 1.5TB so I can prep it and then move the others over after users and data is up and running. I'd probably do the same if I went to the ultra devices. I'd assume as long as they are on the same subnet they can just point to the name of nas2 and select folders that way as well.
Rsync is also pretty slow. What I've done (migrating from a duo to a pro) is do a backup with NFS first, then follow that up with rsync. I don't recall if the v2 has nfs, though if it doesn't you could begin with cifs.
