Anything I need to know about moving from one vita to another?

I do have PS+ so I am guessing just upload cloud saves and set the new vita up and register it. Then put the memory card in.

Is that it?

You can also back it up to your pc via usb, which might be faster than redownloading the games again.

Make sure to use QCMA for back-ups if you are trying to use USB as CMA seems to have decided it only wishes to work over WiFi.

A little extra non-needed information because I feel like typing for some reason...
But, it also works when a new Vita joins the team.

What I do when I get a new game, is I download it to my Vita. Then I download and install any and all DLC for it I have get with also. Open the game once so as to make certain it is actually working, but not play any of it. Then, connect to my PC via QCMA using USB. Open Content Manager on the Vita, and backup the game in a Fresh Install state to my PC. Once it is backed up, I 7zip the folder it saved to, name it, move a copy to an external hard drive, and a secondary copy to another drive.
Once I reach 23Gig of new games, I do take an extra step and back them up one more time to a 25GB Optical Media BluRay Disc. But, that is just my being extra careful.

So, the files look like this:

ωLabrynthZ (J) [FreshInstall][DLC].7z Name (language) [Status][all DLC?].extension
ωLabrynthZ (J) [Working][DLC].7z - current status choices are FreshInstall and Working

Is important, if I obtain extra DLC later, to update the file.

It is a little obsessive, but as a system it works for me.
And, the best part is, I never have to scroll through hundreds of entries to try and install DLC to a game later in life. I just un-7zip into the proper place, and QCMA it up to my Vita. DLC included.

Is it possible to "see" all Soul Sacrifice Delta has to offer playing offline? I played it when it first came out and loved it, but ended up setting it aside.

They're JRPGs where you split your time between slice of life adventures in town, going out to collect ingredients to brew potions, and occasionally a bit of traditional JRPG combat where you throw potions and bombs at the enemy, while trying to manage your relationships with a pretty sizeable cast of characters, and completing specific items by specific dates so your shop isn't repoed/you pass your exams/your parents don't ban you from doing science forever.

you'll like the Atelier series if you like being rewarded for the effort you put into item crafting

typically, you start an Atelier game comically underpowered. Maybe some enemies hit too hard, or maybe even basic enemies are damage sponges. Either way, it can feel like the game is balanced slightly against your favor. Unlike other rpgs, the equipment you can buy or find are usually of middling quality, and level ups only give you modest stat gains. The way you even the odds, and eventually destroy the power curve altogether, is through item crafting.

You'll be making everything you use, your healing items, your attack items, your weapons, armor, and accessories. The crafting systems start out pretty simple, but new aspects of crafting are added over time, and it gets deep enough that the more time you spend thinking about which ingredients to add, and in which order, the better your results. It means the difference between a normal bomb that hits a few enemies for 60, to an awesome bomb that hits all enemies for 200+, lowers their stats, poisons them, and pushes back their turn. The progression feels really good because every single thing that you use in battle to dominate your foes is something you yourself made. In Atelier Ayesha, for example, by the end of the game I had crafted a weapon for Ayesha that inflicted bonus damage of every element, absorbed damage as HP, boosted all of her stats, reduced the enemy's speed, power, and defense, boosted skill damage by 12% and reduced MP costs by 25%. It's really fun.

Anyone interested in a "new" silver 2000? I say "new" because there is some dust on the screen and the foam wrap around the system is wrong. I have a feeling this was a floor display.

Understatement of the century.

For reference, I don't have a good head for all the crafting things but I've read something of what you can pull. I think my favourite was hearing about a pie in Meruru (if I recall correctly) where all the traits meant that the pie healed Hp and Sp to full, layered every single buff in the game plus reraise and automatically triggered from inventory without using a turn whenever a character was at critical HP, for example if said character had just been revived from the reraise effect.

If you care about the story at all, just start with Rorona. A lot of people don't like it because the time constraint is pretty strict and you will definitely need to do a NG+ if you wanna get all the endings, but I actually like the time challenge. Meruru is the third in that trilogy (these games all come in trilogies set in parallel worlds) but you don't have to have played the other two if you just wanna make some crazy stuff. I don't remember making any pies like that but I think that was when pinwheels got crazy powerful.

If you are worried about the time challenge, maybe skip to the Dusk trilogy. I think Ayesha was was less strict and Escha & Logy is one of my favorites.

Also always get the "plus" versions. I don't know if you can still get the normal versions but just in case.
