If you're transitioning inside the same company, you have the added benefit of knowing the people you'll be managing ahead of time. This isn't always necessarily a positive thing for the same-company argument. You'll definitely be more aware of the "people problems" that will now become "your problem".

If you're OK taking on those problems, go for it. If not, you're essentially rolling the dice - you may end up with a situation that's better or worse.
