I sort of did this myself, but it was after I joined the 1000 expired cards club. My weakest were the 1700s-1800s as those were the ones I rushed the most. I started fresh and added 50 a day, which seemed do-able, but I was worried about not getting to the ones I was terrible at for a long time, so I decided to see them new in reverse order.

I like how convenient it is and how cards aren't bound by 'days', they can reoccur in nine hours if it's that new.

If you go through them in regular order, or even reverse order, my only concern for you would be if you don't have them all fairly in your head before you make the jump, because if you don't have them all in, say, the last two columns in RTK, you might be oblivious to them when you reencounter them a month from now. So I'd be sure you know the ones later in the book well enough you'll remember them in a month... or at least close to that.

I don't regret switching though, I needed a restart and now I can do it several times a day to cut back on how many I have to do all at once, it feels less overpowering.

I'd just export my progress to Anki.  Starting reviews afresh means you're going to have a lot more reviews to do, so unless you feel that you didn't learn well and need to start fresh, don't.

Shtephen, my cure for that in Anki is I use the space bar for "yes" and 1 for "no".

Nicksan, I recommend importing your progress into Anki. No reason to lose the spacing you built up. In addition, as you can export your stories from RTK, there's another plug-in that allows you to add data to an already existing Anki deck via a spreadsheet.

Although I miss not reviewing on RevTK, I like having spacing for kanji going past 280 days and being able to do Kanji to Concept recognition cards on top of being able to review offline.
