In the end, when you add up all fees and extra hassles (like writing checks to affiliates) the real benefit is not % of savings. Maybe you save 1% or 3%, something like that. No, the advantage would be scrub control, better throughput (in theory) and more information and ultimately control over your forms and settings. You would then need to calculate if all the benefits outweigh the additional cost/work. This is why, in the end, many do not switch from a 3rd party processer. (This does not necassarily apply to those with high volume of joins or transactions.)

This was my thinking too. Additional costs of NATS + probably an extra server for it not to mention the work in switching, time and money spent cutting your own afiliate checks. Then if you want Netbilling customer support or similar customer support/phone thats extra too. Then you have to work to keep hold of your MIDs. High volume yes but everyone else, I'd say no.
