In fact you don't even need the mer installer if you have access to a card reader on a linux pc: you can simply delete everything on the partition (or simply mkfs over it), mount it somewhere and, as root, untar the "rootfs tar.gz for Nokia N8x0 port" there, at least that's what I did to upgrade from mer 0.14 to mer 0.15 (though I'm not sure the mer layout is the same as the cloned diablo one). If you are not concerned about losing everything in your diablo sd partition you can simply try it and see what happens, or, as you say in option 2, use another card.
