I wouldn't see any problem with just replacing all the bulbs at once.

I think you are going down the right path, Gboy... replacing a bulb every 5-7 days will lower the overall stress to the system, and in less than a month you'll have all new lighting.
Alternatively, a lot of folks will use window screens on top of the tank to shade the tank, replace all bulbs at once and then remove a layer of screen every few days to allow a ramp up or break in period for the coral.
