Commercial training on an integrated course costs at-least twice what PPL training at a local school will cost you per hour, so actually it's probably cost neutral.
Also most of the experienced people in this game will tell you quite actively that unless somebody else pays for it, integrated courses are an unnecessarily massive expense and that you should go modular.
