JD,

I just read this in the "fine print". Not sure if you were aware of this ICANN rule, but you mentioned moving domains as they expires.

If your domain expired with your previous registrar, and you've reactivated it (renewed after expiration) with them, please do not transfer it within 45 days of the previous expiration date. According to ICANN, the domain will be renewed for 1 year by the new registrar, but the reactivation year added to your domain by the previous registrar will be revoked. You may also lose renewal fees paid to the previous registrar. Check more information here.

Namecheap has been great for me. 
I don't use any of the 'value added' features from Godaddy so I don't know.  
As they come up to expire I'm migrating my domains away from Godaddy.

I have a number of domains registered with GoDaddy, and the renewal prices are getting expensive - ~$20 for .biz, .com, .org, etc. I have always used GoDaddy, but the price of renewals leads me to look for another registrar. I don't use any of the hosting services or any other services from GoDaddy - just domain name registration.

I googled cheap domain name renewal, and stumbled on CheapNames (https://www.namecheap.com/domains/transfer.aspx). 

Anyone use this service? Am I missing some value added services from GoDaddy as a domain registrar that I will regret not having at CheapNames?

Should I look at another domain registrar beyond CheapNames? 

Before I do a bulk transfer of my domains (~50) to CheapNames, I wanted to make sure people have had good experiences with this registrar.

Thanks!

Mark
