I found it better to just install the theme and take it from there. I have Fantastico and haven't used it to upgrade WordPress, maybe next time! Thanks for the advice.

I'm in the process of re-designing my blog right now. :) Oh goodness! A testing server!

In both cases, my blogs had outgrown the old 2 column format, and they needed more room. The processes ended up being almost exactly the same as yours, especially the panicking parts. I do have WordPress installed on my home computer, so I tried out the new themes there first, but there still ended up being some things that didn't work on the live version; hence the panic. I do recommend tweaking offline first though, to minimize the problems. I’ve just gone through this process twice in the last couple of weeks.
