I would first move my DNS to a low-cost DNS provider ($30 or so a year)

Why? Am I missing something here?

My main registrar offers everything I require for free, I can point my domains anywhere I like plus a whole host (sic) of other things for a retail cost of about $12 p.a.

Or are you just suggesting moving away from where they are at present?
