You can learn a lot in just 60 extra hours of going from airport to airport. I always threw in a charlie when I went, great way to really feel good and know how a larger airport operates. I really think you'd miss out on some things if you went the 141 route. I look at it this way, mostly. 141 spoon feeds you, its there to get you min hours and hope you get hired. I guess I always view an aviation job as a way to make a living at what I love. 61 I think is geared more towards that. You're PIC right? Fly it your way insted of a set of strict rules set by the school. I like flying planes my way to a degree. I know what I can do and I dont need insane weather mins to go fly. My most memorable flight was my first X-C AFTER my ppl. MVFR and learned alot about my own limitations and it built up some confidence. You wont get that with a 3000 and 5 min weather. think about it.
