It does make it clearer, thank you.
However, it seems to me that your approach will mean that:
1) I still have to do a storage migration as part of the import procedure, and this can take a long time.
2) The VM will end up in the "import storage profile", rather than the storage profile I wanted it to use. I can then change its storage profile (like Chris said), but in doing this I risk a clone, right?
