More $$$ than NOS, but it's something you need for the airlines. I don't know of any airlines that use NOS, though I heard some turbo-prop commuter does. Or maybe it was a 135 op.
What I tell all of my instrument students is start using Jepps NOW if you plan to go to the airlines. About the only places I know of that use NOS is the military, some 135s or part 91 corporate where you might might be responsible for your own charts. Yes, they're a little pricey but how much would you pay to keep from being shown the door at an interview at your number one airline because you don't know why there is an arrow pointing at a number on the planview?
PS To those who think instructing is wasted time: since students are always concerned about money, you'll have to learn both in and out regardless of what you use so all your bases are covered
