Jeff, I'm glad you are considering a track school; you'll love it.

There are a lot of good things to learn in both the basic and advanced MSF courses. Some things you learn, like the whole five fingered braking thing, are tailored toward brand new riders and won't make sense to somebody who already has experience. Just remember, they have to teach the course this way, making no exceptions for somebody who already has a very acceptable (two fingered) braking style. Go back to your usual braking technique after the class is over (unless you are doing something obviously wrong). In the experienced class they won't ask you to unlearn this. If you let yourself, you will learn some useful information. Pay particular attention to the class room portion on street riding techniques and strategies. Go back and take the experience course later and pick up some books on riding. Any of David Hough's books, Nick Unstack's(sp?) new book or Lee Park's new book (read them both recently and they are excellent) would be worth the investment.

I think (although Brent might be able to answer this authoritatively) that insurance companies have to recognize MSF graduates with a discount by law.
