"I have used SuperDuper to make a bootable clone of my old MBP on an USB HD."
You have just what you need with a SuperDuper cloned backup.
My advice on how to proceed:
1. When the new MBP arrives, take it out of the box, but DON'T turn it on yet.
2. Instead, power on the OLD MPB, hook up your SuperDuper backup, and run SD "one last time" so that everything is as "up-to-date" as it can be.
3. Power down the OLD MBP, take your SD backup and connect it to the NEW MPB.
4. Power up the NEW MBP for the first time, and begin the setup.
5. At the appropriate moment, setup assistant will ask if you wish to migrate data from and old Mac or drive.
6. "Aim" setup assistant at the SD backup drive.
7. You will be offered several options to migrate, such as applications, accounts, settings, and data.
8. I would choose everything. Then... just let setup assistant do its thing. It may take a while.
9. When done, you should be presented with a login screen, and the desktop will look just as it appeared on your old MacBook Pro.
10. You will need to "test run" all the 3rd-party apps to be sure they still work. Some may require updates. A few old apps may not work at all (them's the breaks).
11. Aperture may need to be updated to the last version (if you haven't already done so).
12. I'm not sure if the MS Office apps will "come through" without having to re-register them. Give it a try first.
Let us know how it goes.
