Stuart there will be a period of time where trade may be impacted it's by no means a certainty at this point and the strength of the EU that you highlight is also it's weakness as despite multiple economies they all have to sing from the same sheet severely restraining some. Being out means the UK would be able to be much more dynamic in it's approach to trade and foreign investment as well as tailor things to the requirements of various markets as needed which is everything the EU isn't.

There is no rosy scenario here whether we leave or stay short term but in the medium to longer term leaving puts the uk in a better position. Add to that if we leave I don't think there will be an EU within 10 years the UK may well be the first domino in the collapse of the EU, already France is starting to ask for a similar referendum and Germans are not happy either. Our biggest problem is in or out of the EU the UK needs a strength in politician we clearly don't have to obtain the best for the UK and if we vote out I can see Cameron being quite petty and not even trying to get the best for us.
