Migrating VM's from host to host

In the process of planning to move about 8 VM's from one esxi host to another. Is there a painless way to do this that won't be extremely time consuming?
 
if you use shared storage (ie. a NFS or iSCSI datastore) you can unregister the VM from one server and register it on the other
 
Yeah, the migrate feature using local storage works great. Just turn off the VM and click on the migrate button. Over a 1 gbps link, it should take about 2.5-3 hrs to move a 400 GB VM to another host.

I tried using the Veeam quick migration feature but that actually takes a lot longer.
