What exactly is your motivation? I mean, the primary benefit of SolrCloud is better support for sharding, and you have only a single shard. If you have no need for sharding and your master-slave replicated Solr has been working fine, then stick with it. If only one machine is having a load problem, then that one node should be replaced. There are indeed plenty of good reasons to prefer SolrCloud over traditional master-slave replication, but so far you haven't touched on any of them.
How much data (number of documents) do you have?
