8xx to 520 Plus Upgrades

#1 It is my understanding that V5R3M5 LIC has not been tested on any 8xx 
models and therefore not supported on an 8xx. 
#2 If upgrade to a 520 Plus I need V5R3M5 LIC
#3 Then any upgrade from an 8xx needs to be an Unload/Reload or I need to 
be bleeding edge and go to V5R4
        ( well at least bleeding for the first 6 months or so)

I have several clients that have leases expiring and need to replace their 
HW or extend their leases. I really don't like Unload/Reloads unless it's 
my only option and that hasn't been the case. I have been able to do 
things like Loadsource migrations and then migrate off the old DASD etc to 
keep from Unload/Reloads.

Anyone else out there see this as problem?
