What a refreshing balanced response …sadly lacking here these days!
You are dead right there is no easy answer.
I was modular, and at the time (two years ago) I wished that I had had the money to go integrated.
However I think modular is probably the way to go in view of the current employment situation. HOWEVER, that will not be the case for all integrated students…right place right time still has a lot to do with things.
Right now I am happy that I went down the modular route and chose to take some time out to instruct, at least I am flying and building some hours, all be it for buttons.
‘Perhaps’ for the moment modular ‘might’ be the best option for the reasons stated in the other posts.
Both routes are right... is the indecisive answer!
Good luck
