Sorry Uncle Dickie, I was trying to balance the views. perhaps too far, point taken. Crosswinds are great fun and I rather enjoy a sporty 20 kts, but when they exceed the aircraft limit... no fun to be had....:-(
To the OP, I was trying to say ”look around before you commit”, take references, visit the schools/clubs speak to the graduates, make the decision that suits your position
Also consider Modular as well as Integrated..

A more careful scrutiny of XRY weather would reveal that the Levanter is essentially a summer event and yes it can inhibit basic flying from time to time.
In fact these conditions at GIB can be somewhat sporty!
If anything XRY from a training point of view could do with more gentle crosswinds to improve these necessary skills of the student pilots.
