Looks sharp, nice design improvement over the previous. Definitely need a broadband connection to use the site, though:

homepage:
document weight - 18.77 KB
dependencies - 644.45 KB
total - 663.22 KB
download @56.6 - 103 seconds

That's OK for a broadband connection, but you might want to consider breaking the tour pages into smaller pages.

preview01.html:
doc - 47.60 KB
dependencies - 3633.49 KB
total - 3681.09 KB
download @56.6 - 575 seconds

That's a mighty big page. Of course, it's also a mighty generous preview, so there you go, but on a 56.6 modem, it will take nearly 10 minutes to download.

Layout is really nice. I like the color and the background images.

Good point on the speed of the preview page but savvy users can open new pages to view a sample while the other page loads - but you're right, how many savvy users are still on dialup?
Thanks

Latest figures for US broadband usage run about 65% market penetration, but I would guess that the percentage logging in to your site would be somewhat higher, maybe 80%? I think the trade off for the amount of content is well worth the load time. However, you could resample the thumbnails to reduce the filesize by as much as 66% with virtually no loss of image quality; I resaved one (Photoshop save for web, 80%) and reduced the filesize from 25.2 KB to 8.57 KB (which if applied to 3600 KB of thumbs would reduce the overall thumbnail weight from 3600 KB to 1100 KB). And that's working with the jpeg thumbnail, not the original source file (thus, any lossy qualities or jpeg artifacts introduced by resaving the jpeg thumb--which are minor in the sample below--would not be introduced by saving from the original file).
