Create New Leopard HD Image and Swap Tiger for Leopard with SD!

I will first confess that I am not a heavy duty Mac guy. I have a MBPro and love it, but my "day" job is programming (in Windows) and I don't spend every spare moment back in front of the computer. I do use Fusion for my VMs, so I could actually help someone with that

Goal: I have 10.4.11 on my MBP and want to upgrade to 10.5.x. However, I can't/don't want to deal with down time, while I get 10.5.x up to speed (re-installs, move data, etc.).

Hypothesis: I have an external, FW800 HD that I would like to create a partition on and install 10.5.x. I would re-install software, load my data (from my MBP or SD!), etc. I would then:
1. make a bootable copy of this partition with SD!
2. backup my current 10.4.11 MBP drive with SD!
3. format current MBP drive
4. Move the 10.5.x SD! image onto the MBP drive.

Question(s):
1. Does this process sound reasonable?
2. Do I even need to use SD! to move my new partition onto a newly formatted drive? Could I use Disk Utility or something?

I hope this doesn't sound like a noob question, but it probably is.

Thanks for your help!

Sean
