Migrate from Single-Server to Cluster

I have a SharePoint installation that currently uses a single SQL Server and
connects to the default instance. I want to migrate to a cluster without
doing a full backup/move/restore. I'm thinking if I set up the cluster with
the same name as the current SQL server it should be transparent to
SharePoint. Has anyone tried this?
This is not a good idea, not even a great one. SPS can get picky. I would
due a true migration, with a tested backup/restore, then move the DB's.
Cheers,
