NZ or OZ ATPL

Hi everyone.
I'm in a bit of a jam at the moment. I am 36. 3500+ TT, 1500+ Turbine, 600+ EFIS and I desperately need to get my ATPL sorted. (I only have two subjects).

Just wanting to know if it is a better idea to go to OZ and do the course over there (I have over 8 weeks of leave owing), or to stick it out and get my NZ subjects.

I have plenty of money saved up to pay for travel, type-rating/s, exams etc. I even own two houses, one of which I can sell if I need to.

Only problem with each idea is that I may not be able to get enough leave in one go to do the OZ course and my exam credits may expire before I get the licence if I do the NZ exams (the company that I work for won't let us do our flight test until our command is due and at the moment that could be as little as 6 months to as much as 3 years away).

Any advice?

VD
