Once u have visa, take the new passport and get it restamped... it's a common scenario with long term visa... for any country
Just like any other Visa ie "O" or "B" for example the visa is transferred from the old to the new passport at an immigration office - done it twice now.
I'm pretty sure you'd be able to granger the old visa to a new passport later, but I'm also pretty sure it won't be for free, so in my opinion, if you can get a new passport before applying, it'd be better.
