Answer is yes you can but Make sure both WLCs are the same version!!!

If not on smae version then start the new WLC config from scratch.

I suggest to setup the new one in parallel and then go through all options, screen by screen. That way you will also see new/different options, which the newer/bigger hardware offers.

Let me chime in... you can export the configuration from one controller and edit the file because you will need to change your hostname and ip address unless doing a replacement.  Now, one thing to note is that some of the configurations will fail because of the port difference between the 2504 and 5508.  In the end, you still want to run a diff between the two configuration files and or go through the GUI like what was mentioned already to confirm your setting are the same.  I have done this with different code versions, but with newer versions, there are new features that you will need to look into.  Keep those disabled if you don't know what they are.
