I did it in JAX back in September and it was the most intense few weeks of my life. It was very worth it in the end having all 3 CFI, II, MEI done. I studied hard for a few months ahead of time in the evenings. I came with my binder and lesson plans made, and writtens completed.

If you didn't do your training at ATP or don't have much Seminole time I'd suggest the 15 hour program despite your current multi time. The 7 hour one wasn't enough time for me to get all of their crazy procedures down.

Just know going in, ATP is the McDonnalds of flight training. It's quick, cheap, not the best quality, but you will get what you paid for if you are motivated and can handle fast paced training. PM me if you want more details on my experience.
