This might have made sense 10 years ago when every one was willing to install plugins and Java installs and Quicktime to see a home tours. No more! It is now the kiss of death. Everyone has Flash. NO ONE is willing to download and install plugins just to see a tour. If you want your tours to be seen use Flash period. This is a simple fact in todays online real estate marketing.
