Absolutely. Having to configure things in two different environments would be a total nuisance - time consuming and error prone, as you noted.
The way I do it is to just export the entire database from one environment to the next, and update the config.php file to allow for switching between the different environment variables (DB settings, paths and URLs). Give my response in this post a read:

But really, there's no perfect way to do it just yet. But I'd strongly recommend working in a single envionment when you can and just exporting the DB.
