Glad I could help. Yep, I completely understand how helpful it would be to say, "Yep, do it!" or "No, stay away!". Because it is expensive ($749 per module or $1200 for both), it's a judgment call. I felt I'd rather make the most of my chances this time around and do all I could to pass on the first try. And, of course, the practice books are pretty good. I'm taking it in NY in April 2011.
If it helps, you can buy the lateral portion separately. I don't know if the vertical portion is still available, though all lessons are archived online for instant access up until the test (which is good because some went very quickly with a lot of good info). Based on the topics, the instructors (again, some of the better ones from the vertical portion), and my relatively weaker skill set on lateral forces, I think that the lateral portion (Feb. 12-13) will be very helpful and am looking forward to it.

If it doesn't work, just search "Kaplan PE" and it's the Live SE review course option.
The classes are online. You watch live feeds of the instructors give their presentations, and then can access the lectures, slides, and any supplementary material 24/7 up until the test. There were no tech problems - everything went smooth with the feed and logistics. You can also ask questions during the presentations and the instructors are pretty responsive.
Let me know of any other questions. Hope this helps.
