Just keep in mind it will be a little awkward that 54.3 uBTC is the
smallest unit that can be transferred [easily] and the standard fees are
500 uBTC.    It's not a deal breaker, it's just something that needs to
be taken into consideration when it comes to user perception (which is
one of the reasons we would make such a change in the first place). 

"Holy crap these fees are huge!  I thought Bitcoin didn't have fees!"

$10USD would be 25000uBTC.  This isn't a problem for a place like South
Korea, where 10USD is about 10,000 Won, so we aren't even off on a scale
of usable currencies in major economies.

uBTC!), and reduce the perception the Bitcoins are not divisible (I have
heard several people worry that 21 million is not enough units).
