Opinion of Magoosh for GMAT Prep?

What do you guys think? Is it worth the money? Got a 420 on my baseline (0 prep beforehand) and am aiming for 700-730 within the next 2.5 months, studying about 2 hours per day.

Magoosh seems very good but pricey compared to the free resources I already have (GMAT Official Guides), but I think the videos will be very helpful.

Thanks for the help.
