Yes, this helps and totally makes sense to me. Thanks. I would do the same... In this case however it looks like there were certain high volume writes that could be handled in a simpler manner with Redis, however it is totally possible that while this looks like an important use case, it accounted for a small percentage of all the data, so we are back to the consolidation thing of moving everything to a single system that is in general a good idea.
