are you saying that, generally speaking, moving the data would be better unless the SAN performs worse than the disks?
besides your point that it depends on what our end looks like i mean.
(and what do you mean by "the DAS way", sry no native speaker)

If you're satisfied with the current performance then it should be safe
to keep the indices and move the data, the risk of the SAN performing
worse on sequential I/O is not that high. But without testing and
knowledge about the SAN then it is hard to say if what you currently
have is better or worse than the SAN. The vendor may have a "way better san",
but is may also be shared among 200 other hosts connected over iSCSI or FC
so your share may be even worse than what you currently have.
Without insight and testing is it hard to guess. I've pretty much come
to the conclusion of going the DAS way every time, but it all depends on
what your end looks like.
