The following is from my post in the King's Instrument Course thread...

... I just ordered the King Instrument and Commercial Courses tonight. I had an EXCELLENT order rep who was knowledgeable and was interested in making my first ordering experience with King a good one.
Here's the Scoop... Because I ordered two courses the price dropped from $279 to $250 each. The corresponding Check-Ride Courses (DVD) were also discounted from $99 to $79.
I also received 6 Take-Off Videos for free as well... that was an additional savings of @ $300. For a total of @ $400 in savings!
Wow...
Needless to say, I was overwhelmed and very impressed with the service. I had never ordered from them before but am familiar with their Cessna Cleared for Takeoff Software that I bought from my FBO.
Can't wait to get it all and start digging in!

I too am in the process of studying for ATP and hope to have my testing done prior to starting with them in Dallas in July. I am halfway through the Instrument Course, and feeling comfortable with the knowledge. I have resigned from my previous job and have two solid months to do nothing but study... My hope is to have the IR, COM, FOI, and II writtens done prior to starting with them in Mid-July.
I also ordered the Multi-Engine course from them and ASA's GPS Training software for the GNS 430's in the Seminoles. I'm hoping to be over-prepared!
Of course, I'm still studying the Piper Seminole Supplement from ATP as well.
As far as the CFII course goes, the CFII test questions come from the the same bank as the Instrument questions... so just by studying the Instrument course you are studying for the II. Everyone has told me and it even states so in the Gleim Instrument study guide to take both tests the same day. But only if you fully intend to take your II checkride within two years or else your score on the II written will become invalid.
Lastly... go for the DVD course. It has all the interactivity of the CD-ROM course but with better video AND you can pop it into any DVD player and watch it on the big screen in the comfort of your recliner! So in a sense it is the computer based program and the video program in one.
Anyway... I spent just over $800 with them and I am not dissapointed so far... ask me again after my tests. Right now my life is aviation studying... oh yeah... family too... almost forgot.
