Check ride dilemma

Hi all,
So I've found several places that will do my ATP-CTP, and then after that I can sit my FAA ATP exam in order to convert my CASA CPL-MECIR to FAA...BUT, I can't find anywhere that will do my ATP check ride in the EMB-120. Flight safety (in Atlanta) "will" do it, but they want $14300 from me to do a "prior experience" course! What a joke, I could do a 737 or A320 TR for that kind of money, and I have over 1000 hours on the Braz (120), so doing 12 hours in a sim and 12 hours ground school would be bit of a waste of time.
What I really want is to do my ATP CTP, sit the Exam, do the ATP check ride on the EMB-120. Does anyone know anyone or anything that can help me? Maybe an airline in the US might be able to do the checkride for me? I don't mind paying, but $14300 ridiculous.
I'm open to other suggestions too, my goal is an FAA ATP, I don't care where or on which aircraft I do the check ride as long as it is cheap ;-) .
Thanks all
Safe Skies :-)
