I don't *think* that should be a problem.  On the 7200, just d/l and run the
8.6 updater.  I'd suggest that you might want to get a bigger HD on the
2300, then just hook up a CD drive to one of your docks, install 8.5 and
upgrade to 8.6.  Keeping some form of 7.6.1 around for emergencies may be
called for but isn't really necessary.  For the 2300 you could keep it on
one of the Dock HDs, the 7200 should just boot from whichever OS CD you
have.
