Migrating from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003 onto new hardware

1st
I have a client with a SBS 2000 Dell server and 18 clients. They are
using it for exchange, file server, print server and application
server. I am working up a quote for them on replacing the server with
new hardware and while we are at it migrating up to SBS 2003. I've
found a 50 page white paper on this migration from Microsoft and it
looks to be pretty labor intensive to perform this migration. I'd like

to be able to estimate my time to do it this way, but do not want to
get in a situation that I end up going way over. I understand that
every situation is different, but I wanted to get an idea from others.

Has anyone done one of these the MS way and how long did it take you?


2nd
I found this site SBS Migration and it talks about doing this via Swing

It!. Does anyone have experience going this route? Their site makes
it sound like this will be a 2-3 hour job and everything will be just
peachy. What's the scoop on this? http://www.sbsmigration.com/


3rd
What is the best practice for doing this type of migration? Where do I

find a write up on it?


Thanks In Advance
Rick
