Just wondering if anyone's done the inclass packages with either Schweser or Stalla and how was your experience with it/would you recommend it?
I know that we just entered February but I can't take reading the books any longer. Don't know if I should get one of the basic study packages or one of the hardcore ones with classes...

I use elan and am loving it, cheaper too. Their study notes are more condensed than stalla & schweser, which works for me :) I got their videos, notes, questions, mock exams, and 11th hour guide... all quality stuff. My GF is using stalla and she agrees elan is superior. Just my 2cents, you can get a trial at elanguides.com
Which level? I never did the class packages, but the Schweser notes are solid and got me thru all three levels. You still have plenty of time, so I'd just go with the basic notes if I were you. Getting a little tight on time if you're doing level II, but it's def doable. Also, check out analystforum.com if you're not there already. Those guys love to debate this stuff all day long.
I am taking the live Schweser class beacuse a) I prefer the lecture environment b) weekly classes help keep me on track and on a consistent schedule.
So far, so good. My plan of attack has been to read the Schweser notes to learn the info we will review the day before class. For example, I have session 3 tommorow night, so I will read the session 3 material tonight to prep for class. This way all the material tommrow night won't be enturely fresh and it will be the second time I see it.
I'm using Stalla for Level 1 currently and don't have any complaints against it yet. Having a background in finance is definitely helpful, but I feel like Stalla does a good job presenting the material for those with no background. I'm using a similar strategy as tan, focusing on one study session a week.
Elan is for p00rs and st00pids...... Don't listen to any of the idiots who haven't passed any level. That being said I used Schweser and passed....
