Baliman,
You may want to check out the East Coast IFR experience, 6-days of
intensive training for $6000

We are both IFR students and are thinking of taking the course soon.

Well, it may be a great experience. And it may be worth the money.

But the way I read it, you are going to get about 15 hours of
intrument time over 6 days.

That's not what I would call "intensive".

And with another 25 hours of instrument time required on top of this
$6000, I wouldn't call it real cheap, either, compared to, say, a
10-day course with 20 hours of sim time at $40/hour and20 of an
aircraft @100/hour, and 80 hours of an instructor's time, say $3600,
and you got yourself a rating from scratch for less than $7000.

But they are totally different experiences, to be sure.
