I would advise you look at both PAT and BFC.

Both have good reputations ( and both are probably better that SFT ever was).

With ref to the pricing thing, I recall BFCs prices changing post SFT but not PATs.

PAT do have excellent a/c. they have 4 identically equipped Duchess's. This is very useful since the training ac do go tech and you will find ourself swapping about. On that note I think it is a good idea not to get used to one specific plane. You can guarantee it won't be available for your test. When I went to PAT BFC only had 1 twin. If this went US then no more training or tests. ( I believe they have 2 now). At the end of the day it your choice good luck. The IR was the hardest thing I've ever done but very rewarding.

E-Mail me if you want instructor and accomodation tips.
