Didnt read all the pages of this thread however got the gist:
Hope my info helps peeps save money, I found it the best value for money (so far)
Do PPL(A) and PPL (H) £££ depends on you I supose
ATPL Ground school is just 1 more exam now so an extra £66 £3k total
The nice thing is now....get your IR and CPL on the fixed wing then take advantage of the dispensations given by the CAA towards the ATPL H. IR is a 10 hour conversion pluss a type rating (budget £30k depending how good you are) CPL you only need 105 hours.
Not for every one I supose, but not a bad way of grabbing a really usefull ticket to ride, it also gives you great versatility in the market.
Good luck all! and dont forget.....its only money!
