Fear.
I agree with you. Migrate is the preferred method in my tool-box.

Can someone explain why anyone would opt for export/import as a path to do an 8.0 to 8.1 upgrade? Doesn't the basic upgrade just consist of starting the instance on the new ORACLE_HOME and running an upgrade script? Why would someone undergo the disruption and complexity of a full export/import when you can just leave the data where it is?
