I'm in the exact position as you are and have decided to go the modular route. My decision is based on how much I love aviation and how soon I want to be a pilot. I dont see why I should spend another 2 to 3 years doing something I dont like. Also, just to end up with a convenient way of getting my licence but not the all the important experience is not worth at all. Where would be the fun? the sweats? the hard work? and a feeling of achievement? What if you do the Integrated and end up with no job and maybe no money to do an FI rating?
I suggest you read Pilot Pete's story on how he got his job, and how proude of himself he is today. Its an eye opener for people in our position.
Good LUCK!!!
