Putting new HD on MacBook, want to duplicate old HD to new one.

I want to replace my old MacBook 60 GB HD with a newer, larger 200 GB HD. I want to make an exact copy of the content I currently have to the new, larger HD, and just proceed. The only change is that I have 140 more GB of space.

I just purchased a copy of Super Duper. I have an enclosure for the new HD. Can I:

1). just take the old HD, make a bootable copy of it on my new HD, then insert the new HD in my MacBook and then go from there? Is it that simple? Or do I need to:

2). make a bootable copy of my old HD on a third Firewire HD, then restore it to the new HD and then make the replacement.

I've read the support material, and maybe I'm missing something, but I'm just not really sure the best way to proceed.

Thanks!
