In my opinion both INE and IPE are great. IPE, as Rick said, is much more elaborated and acctually more complicated than the real lab. Besides the workbooks I have been having a great support from all IPE team (proctor labs). That´s why I will still using and recommending it. But I will also use any other´s vendor material as complement.
I heard something about IPexpert team planning some bootcamp in Sao Paulo/BR. Is that true? There is no specific CCIE SP courses and bootcamp here...
