BTW, thanks everyone for the help.

No, you will not lose ranking by using re-direction.

And, since all you are trying to accomplish is re-branding, there's no valid reason for putting any effort into re-building what's already built.

And, if your host provides for such, just logon to your account, and use the forwarding feature to re-direct the new domain to the existing one. It's the quickest & easiest way to accomplish the task.
