I don't know why you even ask..... You just had twenty guys tell you it can be done cheaper elsewhere and that you should do it. If you are going to disregard everyones advice because every plane that isn't brand new is falling apart.... then just spend the 12 grand you don't have and get over it. I got my CFI for about 2 and spent less than ten hours in a "dangerous" Arrow. And if you spend more than about five hours in an airplane for II you didn't really learn instrument in the first place...
