Yeah, your customer data is yours and you'll just move it to another processor, yada, yada, yada. It sounds great in theory however I'm quite sure it's not so seamless in the real world.
I'm thinking it would be a much better strategy to spread that risk across multiple processors. Additionally, if you loose your merchant bank for whatever reason and you have a true cascading solution you can immediately switch over to another processor in your cascade. So, you don't have any downtime waiting to set-up with a new processor. If nothing else, I would look at cascading as an "insurance policy".
