Yeah, Route53 isn't as feature rich though. Also I have the same problem, keeps giving me errors about bad nameservers. I guess I'll keep trying.

Hi, I work on Route 53, can you clarify; are you seeing a problem from your registrar when you try to move to Route 53? We're also always keen to hear about features customers would like.

Secondary DNS from a normal bind nameserver.

I second this. I'll add that Route 53 would need to respond to notifies for this to be useful.

It's definitely on our list, but in the meantime there is https://code.google.com/p/route53d/ which will let you translate an AXFR/IXFR from a bind server directly into Route 53 authenticated calls.
Their "update DNS server" page was acting a bit wonky, kept saying some of my nameservers were invalid when they weren't, but I eventually got them all switched.
This isn't a dig against Namecheap, it sounds like this attack is pretty bad, but for important domains Route53 just seems like a much better setup (geographically dispersed, different nameservers for each hosted zone, etc).
