Well then that makes a big difference, you should have mentioned that in your first post.
I would suggest going the FBO part 61 route if it works out cheaper or close to the same after you run some numbers.
Take it slow and try to avoid the large debt which usually accompanies the bigger 141 academy type schools.
Things are slow right now in the training industry so will will find instructors and planes available to go as fast or as slow as you want.
You may be able to bargain a little with them too.
Don't pre-pay to any school unless you can be assured of them being a credible outfit.
Good luck and most of all have fun during your training.
