Yes. Some new Macs might not work with the old OS. Try booting the new Mac from the "current drive" if it boots then do a clone. Boot from the clone then update the OS on the clone with a Combo Update.
If the clone method doesn't work, sometimes the old mac won't run the latest OS required for the new mac. Use Migration Assistant.

I just took this route, except it was for a drive going back into the same computer. I've never had a complaint about CCC, but in doing the clone, I'm usually refreshing with a new OS (which of course you have a thumb drive with the installer on so it takes less than an hour to do and is completely painless!).

But I'm still not without problems ... but that could have nothing to do with CCC.
