How do I migrate an Oracle 11gR2 database from Sparc with big endian to Linux with little endian bet

I have an Oracle 11gR2  (11.2.0.3) database that resides in one data center on a Sparc (big endian) to a Oracle database that resides in a different data center on Linux (little endian) with little to no downtime.  Current database is just under 4 TB allocated with 2.2 TB used.  There will be a 2 GB line between the 2 data centers, but no one can give me an approximate utilization percentage I can count on for the file transfers.

From the research I've done I came up with 3 options:
1-Cross-Platform Transportable Tablespace - some downtime
2-EXPD/IMPD - lots of downtime
3-Upgrade to Oracle 12c and use Cross-Platform Transport Tablespaces using Inconsistent Backups

Howdy, Stranger!
