The migration will not be smooth. Especially if you are switching billers at the same time. There are a lot of moving parts in the equation and getting them all working together will cause a lot of headaches and frustration, especially for someone that's never done it before. I've done 5, each and every one has posed its own issues.
In Mr Nerd's case, not only will he be learning a completely new system, but he will also be playing middleman between: TMM, hosting company, gateway, CCBill, bank, customer support company, password security scripts company, CMS company, so on and so forth. The transition is going to be a task that requires a lot of attention for quite some time, especially for someone who has never done it before.
Each one that I've done has resulted in more sales. So yes, I believe it's worth doing, 100%. Just be prepared for a roller coaster and know that you are not the first or the last to experience the hell that you are about to go through.
My advice: if you are already busy running your company, hire someone that's done it before to do it for you. They will save you months of time and prevent a lot of mistakes from happening.
