I seen ya preach that many times Mark T. your definatly right in my opinion.
Nothing hurts more though to see a hard worked design get beatin by a quick tour with little graphics, but if thats the future and I believe it partially is, design is gonna get a whole lot cheaper

I don't know if it'll go down as a whole. It really does depend on a number of factors and a site with well presented content that is plain vs. a site with well presented content that is done up real nice is what you have to consider. It's early to say for sure, but so far I'm seeing that the sites done up well with good content presentation will outperform ones that are flat and simple with the exception existing on people getting alot of traffic from typically low bandwidth sources.
The trick is determining what that traffic is about and really with sites that have high bookmark ratios like certain TGPs we all know, you'll see some of them do better with plain sites because the TGP is low bandwidth and features less bandwidth intensive content (thus modem users bookmark the site) and some work well on the higher bandwidth stuff.
The only wy to know for sure is to do up multiple tours and split your traffic around. We just did that with:

vs.
http://www.naughtytvnetwork.com/2/front.php
vs.
http://www.naughtytvnetwork.com/3/front.php
Now I know the first question in most people's mind is, "So which tour is converting best?"
But if you are to get my point in this, then you will ask, "Which tour is converting best with which traffic?"
