Better to go to MCO-Orlando Intn'l.
I have positioned through MCO and regularly operate an A330 into SFB. A copy of points

1. The taxiways are wide enough with no exceptionally tight turns.
2. The time taken to transit from the aircraft in SFB, clear imigration and pick up bags is a fraction of the time of the time at MCO.
3. The terminal is large enough to cope with 7 wide bodies at a time.

I do agree with your comments on the flying training though
