Cheaper to get a CFI.
Perhaps $5-7K each if it's shared time (hood/SP), and they get a volume discount, or even less if one of them owns.
Also could get it done much more quickly than getting CFI rating(s) and then instructing. Also no exposure to career-delaying pink slips. If I was at 1350, I'd buy time too.
