I wouldnt feel comfortable giving more than 50% or so until final product is to my liking or as agree'd.
Just my opinion.

Good points - I understand clients might not feel all good about paying 100% up front.
I think a lot of it comes down to repuation - i.e. if we're dealing with someone unknown / new client - we're foolish not to enforce full payment up front - but on the other hand, when we do work for CEN / Global etc, these guys have such strong reputations, it really says a lot.
Having said that, I'd like to think our reputation gives potential clients confidence in us, the fact that we've been around for years now, the fact we've done business with ARS, CEN, Maxcash, Topbucks etc.. I've got 20+ great designers, we're not about to fuck someone over for a few hundred bucks, our clients' happiness is paramount.
