MPSeminars vs. LearnLogos.com - Looking for Advanced Academic Training

I've watched the majority of how-to videos at Logos.com and Youtube. I've watched as many long form webinars I could find online. At this point, I'm running out of training material. There appear to be two options. MP Seminars or LearnLogos.com. I wondering which would has significantly more advanced training than the free material found online. 

MP Seminars entire library can be had for $20.

LearnLogos.com seems to be a little more at $65. 

Much of what I find online for free now seems rather basic and introductory. I'm looking for more advanced strategies, setups, techniques, and tactics specifically geared toward academic research if possible (but not absolutely necessary.

I know the big push at MP is the Camps, but looking at the list it seems rather basic material being covered. But, then again, for as inexpensive as they are, I technically could do both (it's about 80 hours between the two, and I could finish that easily in a month). 

How advanced do each of these curricula really get? After watching a few overview videos from each presenter, LL seems to be a better shot at more advanced tactics, but that is just an assumption. I see MP has a Camp 1 for Academics in his library. So it might be the best option to just do one and then do the other for good measure.

Or would I be better off to just sit down and read through the Logos help files and keep looking for free webinars? The main problem with this approach at this point is much of what I'm finding now that I haven't watched already is still repeating the same basic content. 

Any ideas?

    I wonder at the price points you quote, since I always had MP seminars pegged as VERY expensive (and not worth it for me). Learnlogos always was more bang for the buck, in my opinion. BUT: Both are not geared towards academic research and really advanced techniques, as far as I've seen. (Please don't take this as a definitive answer, though, as I haven't looked deep into their curricula lately). For completeness sake: Have you seen the Verbum Advanced Search Training and Verbum Advanced Academic Training resources?

    Have joy in the Lord! Smile

    I was kind of surprised myself when I was looking at it. But you can enroll in the $20 / month subscription and that gives you access to all the video library. The specific "courses" I am also interested have a price or it says it's included with membership. So for $20 and a month available, I should be able to finish rather quickly. Just not sure if it's worth it. If it's just the basic stuff, I don't want to waste my time.

    I've recently discovered the Verbum videos and their Advanced Academic training is only $55. 

    I imagine if I did all three for $140, I should probably consider myself fully trained in Logos. ;-) Just not sure how repetitive it would be with what I've already been exposed to.
