You loose your coupling to statistics collectors, statistic process flows, calculated tables and Parameters.

You can try selecting all three folders then copy paste them into the second model's Tools folder in one action (highlight 'Tools' and then paste).

When you copy and paste multiple objects, any pointer references between them are preserved - this is useful when building objects that are templates or copies that use label pointers instead of string names/paths to reference other objects in the same scope.

In this case, using dashboards, you may find you still have pointer references (now invalid/null) to things from the old model - process flow activities or objects in the 3D space, but perhaps these will be easy to re-link to counterpart objects in the new model.
