I don't think it's required if you're paying much more than the average PPS sponsor. I'm talking $40-$55. But no matter how good your tours are, how good your content is, you are always going to have a tough time selling a $30/month membership next to a guy offering a $2.95 trial.
But I think you should do what you think is best. Affiliates are going to choose the sponsor that makes them the most money. It doesn't matter if it's revshare, PPS, trials or no trials, if company A makes more than company B for me, they'll get my traffic.
I think you can do fine at your current setup if you had more of your own traffic feeding the sites. I think it's very difficult these days to run a program setup like yours that count exclusively on affiliate traffic (since your program probably won't pay as much as others). Since your sites are of high quality, you are better off targeting review sites and such that will cater toward members that are looking for strictly quality with less emphasis on price.
