maybe going to spain for IR conversion?

Hi
I,ve just read the replies from Turkish 777's thread on doing his FAA IR conversion in the uk and the general consensus seems to be for him not to do it in the uk and take advantage of the cheaper prices in spain.
My situation is that this has now confused me as what to do with my FAA IR conversion and i am supposed to be starting it on Feb 6th and paying my school in the UK a deposit for the course by the end of this week.Due to this i would greatly appreciate more of your opinions on my options.This is my position:
My aim is to get a job based in the UK flying corporate/airlines
Have quite recently done my JAR CPL in Florida
Did my FAA PPL/ IR in California about 5 years ago(so quite rusty,apart from CPL syllabus)
My only flying in the UK has been about 5 hours pottering about in a pa 28.
I think that i will probably need to do an FI on completion of IR for hour building so could obviously gain a fair amount of experience of flying in the UK instructing.
I would appreciate your views on what i should do.Either pack my bags and head south or stick with Bristol flying centre and pay the higher prices and gain the experience of flying in UK airspace??
