Default IFR training materials: King v.s. Sporty's

I am planning to get my IFR rating and am looking for materials that I could learn myself. I found two major materials available in the market. They are:

King Schools: (US$579.00)
Instrument Rating Training - King Schools

Sporty's: (US$265.00)
Sporty's COMPLETE Instrument Rating Course on DVD - Sporty's Pilot Shop


The differences:
- The completed learning kit offered by King includes two sets of training package: knowledge test course + practical test course. In addition, it comes with other 13 DVD and printed materials related/non-related to IFR.
- The sporty materials is one set of package that, I assumes, includes all material needed to prepare for the knowledge and practical exams.


I am wondering which one is better for a beginner like me. Budget is always tight but if I could same more money in the long run by spending more for the right materials, I will go for it. So your experience and advise is needed.
