Consideration for consolidating two existing shared servers into one larger one?

Right now I have two DA servers in production.

One, smaller, is a pretty standard DA install. Uses ns1/ns2.somedomain.com DNS.
The other is larger, and is DA + CloudLinux. Uses ns1/ns2.anewdomain.com DNS... different DNS.

We're deploying a much larger server and after some review it makes more financial sense to consolidate the existing two over to this new node. What would be the most practical, pain free way of doing this for both myself, and for our customers? I would imagine I would just need to setup the server as normal, create two reseller accounts on it, one for the first server (ns1/ns2.somedomain.com) and one for the second server (ns1/ns2.anewdomain.com) and do a normal DA transfer? What are things I need to lookout for, things I should consider before/after?
 
You probably want to make sure you won't have any username collisions, so change any non-unique usernames prior to migrating the accounts. If the order of phpX_release on the "from" and "to" server is different, you will need to adjust it after the migration, so the domains get the php version they should have. Otherwise this should be pretty straight forward, as long as you get the DNS changes done accordingly.
