Screw the BB/100 hands.

Assuming you started playing with a proper bankroll for 50c-1.00 NL:

Has your bankroll doubled since you started? If so, you're most likely ready to play at double the stakes. Even if it has not doubled, as long as you are consistently winning, and your bankroll has increased significantly, you may be ready anyway. It's possible you might have had more than you needed to start. I need a smaller bankroll for NL than I do for limit poker, you might too.

Can you handle the better competition at the higher level? Have you watched some of the games? Seen any regular fish there? Any dangerous players frequently there? Any fear or reluctance on your part to go up? (if so, don't do it).

There are lots of things to think about before moving up in no limit, but BB/hour is not one I'd worry about. It's doubtful you have a statistically significant # of hours anyway, unless you play all the time.
