Wow Brian, you've got a whole army of followers here, good for you! I haven't checked my inbox for two days, and then Bam! The whole inbox is full of them. My comment led to a IE's ad campaign. Hahah!

I think Brians(s) are like our left and right hand and both are
complementary to each other.
Without left, right will have tough time. So both are equally good.
Their style might be different of teaching but at the same time they are
giving us same level of knowledge and this is what matters the most.

Personally I think that both Brians have done an awesome job for R&S. I
learnt a lot from both of them (Onsite Week1 class, CODs, Tech Labs,
Core WB, Lab WBs, Mock Lab WS etc).
I found Brian McGahan to be very focused and to the point. In fact for
some of his lectures, I had to stop the COD and go back if I didnt pay
close attention. Brian Dennis is a great Instructor as well. He tried to
make the long lectures more manageable with some humor, and his strategy
seminars are the best! I think that both Brians do a fantastic job and
know their stuff inside out, they just have a different lecturing style,
which is understandable.
After passing R&S earlier this year using IE material, I am thinking of
pursuing SP track, and based on my previous experience with IE, I plan
to pursue them for SP as well. This thread has helped me make up my mind
as well. Thanks a lot guys.
I am sure other vendors out there are awesome and have great material as
well, but as I havent tried any of them personally, I am not in a
position to compare/contrast.
