"user library restore"?
Well, there's more than that. Are you planning on rekeying all users,
etc
from scratch on the new box and just restore user libraries (and
directories)?
I think there is something more middle of the road.
Other things to consider is this isn't your father's AS/400. There's
a lot of configuration stored in various stream files in the IFS. Do
you really want to use this as a time to evaluate every line of your
HTTP directives to put in a clean system? That's just one tiny
minuscule example.

Here's the thing. I see the ReSpin K on the Power 5 to be somewhat
trivial.
Shouldn't take that long and like Jim said, it's the absolute safest
way to go.
I don't have a problem with that. And I'm probably leaning that way.
But doing the restore from the save 21 basically rebuilds the new
system from scratch because you rebuild the ASP. My question has
always been is there a better way I can consider that does the same
thing but to build the Power 7 to point where the restore is already
past the system build ready for User library restore And I have a
system that started somewhere around OS 4.2 and there are things in
that "closet" I'd like to throw out.

Sounds like a good reason to be at respin K like his BP is planning.

I did a 9406-550 to 8205-E6C migration April 2012, V6R1M1, had several
issues related to not having the latest LIC (F at the time) and
required PTFs for Power7 hardware, also double check your firmware
levels. I had to
IPL the Power7 from LIC respinF, trying to restore the LIC from the
Power5
caused the issue. In other words we did whats called (SLIP the LIC)
Power7 migration complete, (8 hours total, 2 hour restore 21) This was
with LTO3 backup, LTO5 restore using LTO3 media, to SSD drives.

It's not at all about 'the money' it's about who's really still
running i 6.1. and getting the most numbers of folks to the current release.
With this feature you have to WANT or NEED to run 6.1 because it's
about $1000. If you don't want or need it you'll go to 7.1, save the
$1000 and IBM will know you're not running 6.1 because you cannot.

My BP got pretty upset when he figured out that they just charged
for a code.
Who cares if you go to 6.1.1. 7.1 will happen. Just not today!
