I agree and understand.

Small company (~20 ppl) there so their budget is limited. That plays 
into searching for the easiest and shortest path now (also in terms of 
money ...).

Adding DC3: elegant, sure. I just fear the complications around that, 
all the "new hostname", "sync SYSVOL" etc

I tend to clone the disks and move over ... in a maintenance window.
