I agree with rowely why FNPT II?
You don't need visuals.
I to did my IR at LFS and must have done over 100hrs on there sim dual and solo.
The Extra hours in the twin look great in your log book.
Another advantage with LFS is that if you are on a IR course they allow you to use the sim solo whenever you like.
The cougar is an exellent Instrument platform to learn on.
LFS also allow you to pay as you go.
I am sure once you have braved the reception at Multiflight and then waited until someone is ready to be bothered with you. Then wandered across to meet Dylan who has no problems about showing you round the school and leaving you with current students by yourself. For the choice to be quite quickly a LFS or Tayflight.
Now the difference between those 2 is not much I have had recently 2 friends who have had first time passes with tayflight had have had nothing but good things to say about them. Although both of them did more in the twin than was in the original program.
So i would imagine it will be down to price after that and wx at both sites. As you say Scone dosn't have any legal instrument procedures but does have better wx than LBA. LBA has some bloody horrible wx most of the year if its not blowing a gale its down to minimums or viz is 3k if your lucky.

Actually you might have a 3rd option, the old bastard H Crone has set up a IR school in PIK. He was how shall we say famous in his day as a CAAFU. But I know someone who recently has done a MEP with him and found the experence more than pleasant. I should imagine that your IR course will cover a whole lot more than the standard content to a very high standard.
Also being taught by him will possibly open a few doors at interview. And don't be suprised if you get a "that bastard gave me a partial, for picking my nose" or some such like from a Chief pilot interviewing you, but the CP will know that after Henry has finished with you, you will know what you are doing.
