I think the right thing to do is to see over a large number of
games how much better the new larger database does v.s.
the old database. I am willing to do the testing on my cluster
after the end of this month. Each cpu can run a different
game and the data collects in a trivially parallel way.

Once we have the data the decision can be made.

My only concern about this is testing against which opponent?
If Many Faces is the opponent I am mostly limited by the number
of PCs I have for running MF. If it is thought that direct play of
GGdb1 v.s. GGdb2 via 2gtp is the right thing to do then I can
collect data quicker. We can also run some against MF and
some in nearly-self play.
