[THIN] 4.5 Datastore and Satellites

I have a 4.5 farm using SQL for the DS, and on the other end of a satellite I have a 4.0 farm that I need to rebuild and bring up to 4.5 as well. I'd like to collapse them into one farm so I'm pondering what to do about the datastore; should I setup a SQL server at the remote site and replicate, or since 4.5 can run indefintely off of the LHC should I just have the remote server access the DS over the WAN?

The WAN in question is a geo-synchronous satellite, so about 800ms and it's a pretty heavily utilized small pipe. It's also up and down a lot sometimes.
 
Looking for thoughts, suggestions, experiences, brain farts, etc.
 
thanks.
