Perhaps you have to question the honesty of the program you are using and saw such a large drop on. Maybe they are doing funky on the inside OR their NATS codes are not properly set up on their sites / galleries. I think human error would probably cause more damage than just a change on the join page.

Unless they are using merchant accounts cascading is of limited benefit. Cascading amongst IPSP's has a benefit that is directly equal to the probability that one of the IPSP's is having a technical issue at the time. I am considering changing IPSP's on some of my sites and just finished a lengthy test that found that the differential in approvals amongst the IPSP's was about 3%. There are benefits to be had if you are cascading down to SMS or whatever tho.
I can honestly say I have never in all my time as a webmaster had a backend (NATS/MPA) site work out as well as what it was previously. I feel as I run paysites I know the value of my own traffic and have an insight as to it's saleability and it becomes clear very fast when something is wrong. Others say differently.
And personally I have never liked the lack of transparancy with backends. Obviously it's prone to a lot of abuse and becomes a matter of trust regarding the program. If one of the IPSP's can ever come up with NATS like tools and 3rd party accountability in the stats it will be a great product.
But NATS should be a great tool in the right hands. I think you are right in that NATS is complex and a lot of programs that migrate to it don't have the ability to use it correctly and sales suffer.
