Honestly, I'd rather have the experience that comes from more hours.
500 hours less for ATP *sounds* like a great shortcut until you realize that most students CFI through Liberty and don't get much flight time compared to busy part 61 CFIs. You're not getting to the ATP any faster, you're just getting there with less hours.
Like anything, this is a judgment call. Just providing a point of view from someone outside of the Liberty system that listens to what folks inside the system are saying. They're asking for a heck of a lot of money, I'd want to know before laying down that kind of cash (or more likely agreeing to massive student loan debts).
