Request action isn't *that* bad ;-)
In this case request action should be fine as you wont be calling it
very often (as opposed to say from in an element that is displayed on
every page).
That said, Graham's suggestion is a better solution.
Note, to get the best performance from requestAction you should use
the following syntax:
$this->requestAction(array("controller"=>"sites", "action"=>"add"));
