My first virtual tours (back in the day) I shot with a Sony FD Mavica. <-- Yes, it used a floppy disk to store the .jpgs. I shot my images at 640 x 480 resolution and stitched them together. My final stitch was resized to a height of 320px. It was your basic cylinder tour but even with a cheap camera and low resolution images my tours were still crystal clear. Looking at your Balloon Tour I noticed several things....
Your approximate tour viewing window is 536px(w) x 432px(h). This is also a partial cylinder tour. If you are resizing your jpg to 350px(h) then you are forcing the viewer to stretch your image to cover the viewing area. That's your main problem. The are two things you can do to resolve this. You can either downsize your final stitched jpg to the height of the viewer or make the viewer smaller to accomodate your reduced file size. Without me seeing your final stitched results and your final resampled .jpg it's hard to say exactly.
If you continue having problems then I would suggest posting your stitched images somewhere so we can have a look at them.
