I fail to see why this gets flogged to death at every opportunity.
If you want a shot at a major airline with 250hrs and you can afford to keep your ratings current/service any debt for the indefinite future whilst you potentially swim in CTC hold pool etc then go do an integrated course. As Bealzebub has rightly pointed out, numerous times, you maximise your chances of achieving this goal - especially via CTC wings.
If you can't afford this or deem the level of financial risk unacceptable then be grateful that you have another option in the modular route (which has many of it's own advantages anyway).
What's critical is that you can afford to keep current afterwards, should you need to, otherwise you really are just burning money.
