I live in Shanghai, so it's a bit different for me, but even now as I invest more time into Japanese I'm not finding my Chinese to be wanting at all. If I were you, I would try <a href="http://chinesepod.com/" rel="nofollow">ChinesePod</a> for learning Chinese. The lessons are free, and even a one-year premium subscription ($240) is cheaper than most of the options you list. They have excellent material and are quite a bit of fun as well. Good luck in your studies! I’ve learned Chinese up to a pretty decent level of proficiency, and am working on Japanese now.
