I pulled the trigger on this last night with CM 10.5.2, migrating two UCMs changing from the 2500 template to the 7500 template. There was really nothing to it, other than shutting down the VM and increasing the vDisk from 80 GB to 110 GB.
Upon startup the software automatically detected the vdisk change and ran an 'Expanding Disk' script. The new disk space was given to the common partition. I did compare a new 10.5 7500 template with the expanded 2500 to 7500 template. The difference I noticed was that on a true fresh install of 7500 user template the active and inactive software partitions have 20GB allocated. The 2500 had about 14 GB to these partitions. Expanding the 2500 user template to 7500 user only increased the common partition, the software partitions remained at 14GB.
