We're you using Hamachi? Or just regular Logmein How fast are your connections.
Actually, I answered the question without a lot of thought. Originally I had 2 databases because my internet was slow and unreliable 9 years ago. Now that Internet is much faster many other options become possible. I do remote in with Logmein (LMI) regular all the time, also use RDP.
I have considered having my databases combined and creating my own cloud. I like keeping my own data.
