My only point is the consistency of the 141 standardized curriculum. I agree with you that the chances of finding an above and beyond, so called "excellent instructor" are probably better at a Part 61 school. Just be ready to dump an instructor there if you get one that is not up to snuff. If you get a truly poor instructor there you are in trouble because there is not much help in terms of standardization and cross-instruction opportunities with other instructors.
