+1; very sensible approach IMHO. I especially like the idea of leaving the 
current
menu that will trigger the corresponding Processing module.

Please note however that GDALTools have a high end feature not currently 
available in
Processing: it produces the actual GDAL command, that can be edited by hand, 
copied
to a shell, and reused in a bas script. We do have in Processing a similar 
function
through Python scripting, but it is more complex to understand and use.

All the best.
