I did Cornerspeed Level I and Level II and Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School. Cornerspeed was worth every penny, KSSS was a waste of money. You get more track time at CS in one day than two days with KSSS. My girlfriend did Keith Code's school and hated it after having taken Cornerspeed. Can't say I remember the specifics tho so I'm not sure her complaints carry weight in regards to how much/well they teach.
As with all things you get out of it what you put into it. But atleast with Keith Code and Cornerspeed you're getting instructors with real race experience. Hell, one of the CS instructors holds the lap record for 250s at VIR. With something like MARCC (and probably NESBA) typically you're intstructors have only done CCS/WERA stuff. The physical trainer at my works for TPM but I can't say I've ever talked to him about his school.
But really, in the end you're learning to ride a motorcycle fast and safely, do you really want to skimp and search for cheaper schools? NESBA may teach you some basic riding position stuff but really you need to be learning the stuff that keeps you from getting seriously injured (or killed).. don't be cheap about it.
