I guess in the grand scheme of things, the extra $1000-$1500 will probably be worth it...as I said before I have only heard good things about Steve and this thread just proves it again!
My next question then, what are the chances of getting him as your full time instructor? I can imagine he'd be in demand...
I will call them of course, but sometimes it is good to get un-baised first hand information
Also if you did it full time how long could it take? 1 month?
Thanks in advance
