Hi EK, I haven't seen the Ilustrisimo (one "l" as someone reminded me) series. I don't know if Sonny Umpad has a tape series either.
This comes to an interesting marketing point. Some FMA schools decide to put out a tape/book but mostly due to production costs, few outside the school know it's out. The instructor gets discouraged nobody bought the product and it never gets past first production.
The books/videos become "rare", fetch a high price, and then the customer feels a bit ripped off when he most likely sees variation of the basics he's learned instead of something advanced.
Of course, this is just my opinion. It's all about examining/questioning a strategy/technique not attacking a style/person.
