Why modular for 50K if you can do for around 55K INCL. MCC Integrated in my option?
I am not saying that you HAVE to do it, but just saying. Since the training takes approx 2 yrs, you know also that Living expenses in my option are really low.
I dont really care what you will choose, but just pointing out an option.

OP just a word of warning cheap doesn't always translate to cheerful! I was in your shoes & currently stand where you will want to be two years from now. Like you I did a lot of contemplating, asking (& lurking) around to finally come up with a game plan to ascertain the required accreditations.
I'm what you'd consider a recent ex-modular (as of a month ago) student. Got my ME CPL/IR licence through the post a week or so ago. Just need to tie it all up with the silver ribbon ala MCC & presto! All in all the shiny blue book & its accompanied sheets has set me back a cool £52.7K with an outfit in the Midlands. I decided to venture down the modular path for a variety of financial reasons (financial constraints, job security, home etc) & to parrot the sentiments of Luke Sky Toddler unless you are on a tagged program I highly suggest you go down the modular path. This road can be perilous but at least it guarantees you have some spare sterling left over post training
You've managed to amass a decent set of advice/opinions in here.The one about finding a GOOD instructor speaks ten folds & will make a huge difference in cutting cost overall as you go along with the training. I was lucky enough to have had ONE good instructor oversee my whole journey (PPL-CPL/IR), so in that sense we built a really good bond & he understood my strength & weaknesses whole heartedly & did a damn good job of rectifying the chinks in the armour. Looking back he did seem to resonate a very autocratic aura in the cockpit & was a damn near a perfectionist at times which sort of helped me personally as I seemed to perform alot better under pressure of getting the stick...& rudder skills sorted
It seem like you've gathered sufficient intel to go on! Good luck on your lift generating endeavours OP
P.S; I'm sure you already know this, but to echo the proverbial;
'NEVER PAY UP FRONT'.... that is all
