Strategy for ascending exotics? (Destiny)

The situation at hand is:
I have an original Pocket Infinity that is fully upgraded, short of ascending it. 300 Attack
I just finished the exotic bounty for the Pocket Infinity that I've been toting around for months. It has no upgrades yet but Attack 334/365.

What is the best strategy to take here?
I have *A* Exotic shard on hand and could ascend the original. Won't I have to just upgrade everything again?
Do I start slowly upgrading the newer Pocket Infinity since it is "ascended" already and Shard out the old one? Will I get 2 Exotic Shards for the fully upgraded old one?

I always shard the new one and put into the old one because you do NOT have to reupgrade everything now. All the perks you already unlocked will be unlocked after you ascend it.

- Ascending saves XP. Re-rolling kills XP and Ascension. - ZackDark, 2015-07-04, 20:57
