I would like to use d2d to synchronize master-satellite instances of identical drupal sites.
The satellites are data entry terminals that live offline in the field, and need to be synchronized periodically with the home base DB.
So the schema of the two sites are identical, and I'm hoping to devote more of my coding time to managing the synchronization, prevent dupes, and stuff like that.
Looking through the documentation and example files, the complexity of the migrate code seems on par with the regular migrate module.
Can this module save me time versus the regular migrate module?

migrate_d2d will do the querying of the source site for you, and automatically map the core fields. However, for this use case you might find the Deployment module more apt - it's designed expressly for this kind of scenario, whereas Migrate's design center is bulk migrations of entire sites.
