Moving WP v2.5 sites to another host. Can I upgrade to v2.7 at the same time?

    I am migrating a few WP sites I have to another host. I just backup the sql, backup site and make the changes to the "wp-config.php" file to move over.

    I was wondering, since I am currently using WP v2.5 on my sites, could I just upload the latest version of WP which is currently 2.7 to the New host, Then just upload my sql, theme and updated versions of all my plug-ins (mods)?
    Would this work?

    Yup. It will work. Just fill up correct WP-config and when you visit your dashboard a message will tell you that your db is outdated and needs to be updated. Go ahead and update and finish. repeat for every blog.
