737 full motion sims

Hi everyone,
I don't have a TR, but would like to have some experience before getting in an interview where I'll have to fly the 737...
Now, I know there are two main options: first one is to get to those training companies down at LGW or LHR where you pay 1000-2000 pounds for one or two hours training... I know those are proper simulators made by CAE, and all sort of stuff... BUT... don't you think that 1000 pounds an hour is a bit too high?
Second option is that Bruges Air College... I've been there and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone... It runs on Flight Simulator, the FO side of the screens where all fiddling a bit, and I had to swap with the guy, flying from the left seat, as my screens were giving me headache...
Is there any THIRD option? Maybe something not so expensive as a proper official sim, and not so "home made" as the Bruge one...
I also live in Cambridge, so possibly something not too far away??
I know I'm asking for a lot of things, but the Bruge experience has been a bit devastating for me... And would like some opinions on other routes to take...
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
