Yes, but there's also credence in the fact that they won't care where you went to law school. Once you are practicing for a number of years your reputation, your record, your firm, and how you present to clients will be much more important than your law school or your law school grades.
That's because no one cares about school/rank in shitlaw.

If you want a good career in law (excepting PI) then school/rank is basically a threshold you have to cross first.

OP has already crossed that threshold. Stats showing how well the T60 places vs. the T6 are great for a 0L, but worthless for someone who has already finished 1L inside the top 2%.

That said, transferring is fine if your school is strong in only one market and you don't want to be in that market.
