That would be really handy for replacing end-of-life hardware as well. Gather query info on the old system, replay it on the new box and see what shakes loose. Testing the hit on the new system would also give a bit of insight on what tweaks (partitioning, tempdb, file placement, etc.) would impact the new box as well.

Where do I sign up to be a beta tester? I'm in!
