I think the tour looks great, not sure what I would do to improve it.. Here's one thing however:

Have you thought that the only reason your older site is converting better is because it's getting better quality traffic? Older sites tend to get more SE traffic than newer ones. That combined with the fact that it's getting MORE traffic could be the difference.

Thank you. This is some of the most constructive stuff so far...

Which page looks cluttered at that resolution? I have my monitor set at that, and the site looks okay to me, so I am not sure exactly what you have in mind.

As for the resize... the tour looks kind of nappy at high resolutions. Do you think the annoyance factor is worse, or how it looks with all that white space around it? I am open to reassessing the pros and cons of the two options.

Yes, I think better traffic is part of the conversions of the older site. It gets more SE traffic, and obviously has a lot more bookmarkers after two years. What I wonder is whether that sort of thing accounts for all of the difference, or only a small part.
