If change of platforms is not part of the task, then I strongly disagree.
Export/Import is riskier and slower.

Upgrading the software and performing the 32-64 bit update according to the
plentiful documentation on Metalink is faster and safer than exporting and
importing.  It's really the only viable option for a database of any size.
