My thoughts are that there is definately a place for multi-membership sites however, a lot of them that i have seen in the past 3-6 months whilst ive been researching them are doing so many things wrong its unreal.

For one, you shouldnt offer a 'multi-site' membership (IMHO) as a stand-alone product, at least not immediately, they are much better suited as upsells from within existing membership sites which can be used along the lines of 'like this site, signup here and get X others for $X including this one'. The reason i say that? Simple really, that 1 months membership to the initial site, just became a 2 month membership, and we havent even hit the end of month 1 yet.

The chance are, so long as the sites being offered are in alternate niches, not similar ones, the amount of bandwidth that member is actually going to burn through will be no larger (or smaller) than they would have done inside their initial paysite.

That being said, i can certainly understand why a lot of PPS sponsors do want to offer multi-site memberships at a discounted rate, afterall, most of their members areas are full of the same content feeds so it doesnt matter to them whether an affiliate they are paying $35 for send a member to the multi-site tour or the regular sites tour.
