In your case it might be a perfectly good idea to link to the tour of the AVS site. It really depends on what the blog post is focused on. A sponsor-supplied rss feed usually won't be focused on the paysite, but is more likely to talk about a particular scene from a gallery or one of their updates. In those cases the surfer's mindset is more likely to be positively influenced by showing him more pics or video clips of the scene just talked about in the blog post. And ideally the link in the gallery will take the surfer to the tour update page where he can see even more from that scene, while being offered more information about joining that site to get full access.

In cases where a blog post is actually about the paysite, it makes sense to link to the tour, and if you've really pre-sold the site better than the tour does, it works to link direct to the join page (or the page right before the join if the sponsor offers that option).

My comment really was more directed to sponsor-supplied feeds. In blogs you populate with content on your own, there are a variety of things you can do.
