I would recommend doing this VIP as you get early access and an educational adviser which we had Connor Price. This was so worth doing as he showed us much more than we would of seen with out him, Connor also had a lot of information on everything that we asked him, so yes I would recommend this to anyone go early and learn and see more doing the VIP option.
