Ian, Braintree is inexpensive, I would recommend you bite the bullet and integrate with them from the start. If a customer is willing to invest their data with you or rely on your services then you should reciprocate and show your dedication by paying the monthly fee + transactions. Set it up and then focus on covering those costs by acquiring customers.

Good luck!

I don't consider Braintree to be inexpensive at all. But that's subjective, so let's get the facts out there. The monthly minimum I had to pay (minimum of fees) was $100, plus a $75 monthly fee. This is pretty expensive to me.
