I wholeheartedly agree with Yer_Man on using PowerPhotos to merge the libraries. Photos doesn't merge albums and all the metadata. PowerPhotos does. With PP projects are merged as albums with the photos in the project in the album. PP also merges both the edited and original versions.

You have more options merging with PowerPhotos.
