We did the fresh start when we upgraded to View 5.1.... The issue is to run both an older version and View 5.1 (or View 5.2) at the same time you need to have two vCenters so you can have two different Composer's running ( we run Composer on our vCenter server) which then means two different groups of ESXi servers too, but both systems can all use the same shared storage (we use EMC too). The biggest pain in the process is you end up having to recreate all your desktop pools, which for us was OK because we wanted a nice clean system when we move to view 5.1... not sure if I will just upgrade directly to view 5.2 or not...
