Yes, choice will be an undue burden for some, but on the whole I think people prefer to have options. I can minimize this risk with a carefully designed signup form that defaults to bronze - so you don't have to make a choice.

I'm not concerned with the two additional bullet points on my subscription costs/benefits page (if 7 bullets are too much for you, 5 won't be much better...)

All these subscriptions have to 'compete' with the free content on my website anyway. I fully expect that the people who sign up for this service do so because they have a real interest in what the service provides. I don't expect to catch the occasional straggler with money to spare and no interest in my music what so ever - that's not what the service is for.
