I agree with laxxy. I think if you stick to any one method and study diligently for a good amount of time, you will get good solid results.
That being said, I do like his approach because my personal priority is fluency in reading, with oral/verbal skills on a much lower priority level. I seem to have taken a much more passive path with listening, playing japanese tv/radio in the background whenever I can.
Congrats to leosmith for making it through JFE! However, I thought you were using Genki for some reason. Is there any particular reason why you switched?
