You are far better off using migration assistant. There might be a few newer or different drivers and applications on the MBP and the migration will keep those. If the MBP is running Lion, make sure you have all the system patches for Snow Leopard that came out recently. I don't particularily mean the iWork and iTunes, but there were 3 sets of patches for Snow Leopard (the last one might have merged in the first two.)
