820 to 520 Upgrade

A customer plans to upgrade from 820 to 520.
820 presently runs V5R2.
The 520 will be a brand new machine, thus running V5R3.
Some features from the 820 will be moved to the new 520, BUT NO OLD DISKS (some 6 and 8GB's) will be moved to the new machine: 520 will just use its own 35GB disks
They've been told that 820 needs to be upgraded to V5R3 BEFORE saving/restoring things from 820 to 520.
I searched the Archives and found several posts more or less in that same line, e.g.: "Then and only then when you are on V5R3 can you save the 820 and restore it to the 520."
My question is: what's the reason we cannot just save user profiles, programs, files, etc fron V5R2 machine and then restore them to the new V5R3 machine? 

TIA
