Not really. As LIR, I can obtain second, third, fourth PA and I'll pay
almost the same membership fee. Well, there will be slight change due to
category change - but extra large LIR pays 5500EUR - that's less than
cost of three PI blocks in your pricing scheme and much larger address
space available for anything...

And who does that, in reality? Just look into global BGP table, look on
prefixes advertised by Google, for example. Reality is, that people
deaggregates right now and nobody filters them. Prefixes are announced
by customers and customers are paying for that to their upstream
providers. In the fact, not policy, but sales department controls, what
is announced in global tables.
