ARI-BEN aviation, Fort Pierce.
Well known for their multi packages.
Know a couple of people who went there,

* You will fly mostly at night since the planes are used for regular instruction during the day.
* They do not reimburse outside fuel, so to stay cheap you have to return to base, which limits your cross country distance.
* You will fly with another rated pilot, one of you under the hood, both of you log PIC under the safet pilot rules.
Out of a 100 hrs, you fly 50 yourself and sit next to somebody for the other 50.
Safety-pilot PIC time is NOT recognized in JAA- world.
* Planes vary from very nice (with WX radar) to supposedly not so nice , do not know if you can influence the scheduling.

Do a search on Ari Ben, there is a lot of info about them on here somewhere.
