Many of the above items i have not had a chance to investigate personally. One that I'm really interested to get more info on is the Foreign Language program. An added surprise is that it's published in KANSAS! Yeah.
We currently use Abeka's K4 curriculum. I am planning on biting the bullet and buy the Primer Math U See curriculum for $90.00. I feel like Evan (and I) would greatly benefit from the hands-on approach to learning math.
Below is what we will be needing from Abeka next year. Just to give you an idea of what we are planning on and the cost of homeschooling. One nice thing is that most of these items will not need to be purchased again for Merit. 80% are reusable.
