The only problem I would have with that type of program offering a "lease to own" feature is this...

When an affiliate gets a sale through a third party like CCBill or IBill, their money is there at that company and will be sent on time, every time (usually!)

However, when an affiliate signs up for a sponsor that uses multiple billing through a cascade script or their own affiliate system, the affiliate then has to rely on the sponsor cutting the check rather than the 3rd party biller.

In other words, (unless I'm mistaken) using a cascading script like this drops the responsibility of check mailouts into the hands of the people running the system rather than on the 3rd party billers. Lowering the cost of a cascading script (even by offering a lease to own option) would put that script in the hands of more and more webmasters, many of whom could not otherwise afford the several thousand dollar price tag of that script. Think about why that may not be such a good thing.
