I do have cascading billing on my Tours but I'm not sure if CCBill cascades the REBILL if it gets denied. I don't think so.
More money left on the table...

If on the other hand the learning curve is so steep that you stop updating (or slow down) it could have the opposite effect.
If I was going to move to a different CMS I would run both side by side for awhile and see what got the most useage, make sure I wasn't upsetting anyone's apple cart.

This is my thinking as well. I just checked out Elevated X (and this is NOT a knock on any CMS software or company) but I got the impression it was all too....slick. I like all the features but don't know if I could even use everything they have to offer.
More exploration is needed...
