I have a question for you:

- "SIP doesn't work behind NAT very well"

Do you agree with this sentence?

Complete and utter crap (if you assume a few things).

SIP w/NAT works just fine if:
  Asterisk itself is not behind NAT
  You do not want to use SIP reinvites
  You use some form of NAT Keepalive*
  You use nat=yes in sip.conf
  Your NAT router is not SIP aware

If your NAT router is SIP aware then you can 1) turn off it's SIP awareness and treat it like a dumb NAT router or 2) enable it's SIP awareness and turn off nat=yes in sip.conf. A SIP aware router might make reinvites work of both SIP clients have a SIP aware router.

* You can keep your NAT alive by using a registration of 60 seconds on the NAT device, or use qualify=yes in sip.conf, or use the NAT Keepalive features of your SIP device.
