Agreed that it's too steep for people who want to use it as a hedge against negative payment processor action. We're Balanced customers and working on moving to Stripe now in time for the June 11 deadline, and I considered Spreedly to make it more cost-effective next time we have to switch, but it's just too pricey as a middleman for the small-ish volume we have. Most cart systems already make it somewhat easy to switch to a different payment processor.

Thanks cookiecaper. I would not disagree with you in general but I would say that in our experience most cart systems don't make it easy to switch payment processors _unless_ you don't care about storing or retaining cards for additional purchases or subscriptions. Most carts, for PCI reasons, pass your cards directly into the gateway so you're still stuck looking at export/import if you want to move.
