Upgrade Drive - Would this work?

I have a MacMini - G4 1.5, 1 GB RAM, 80GB HDD, Running 10.4.something (whatever the latest is). My hard drive is basically full and I have a 160GB that I want to install. I also want to upgrade to Leopard and have SuperDuper and and external hard drive that is partitioned - 80GB for backups, remainder for other misc data. So, would this work?
  1. Do a bootable system backup to the external hard drive
  2. Replace the 80GB drive with the 160GB
  3. Install Leopard on the 160GB
  4. Use the 'Migrate from another Mac' thing to copy my data from the backup on the external drive

Seems like it would work, but unsure if the 'Migrate from another Mac' app will grab the data from an external drive that has one system partition and one not. So, would this work or maybe is there an easier way?
