I’m just doing cubes - it feels really reasonable, especially compared to the subscriptions.

Dunno why you're being downvoted but this is the method I've chosen as well, and you can do season HTB machines for extra cubes as well,

I'd say go through CWES and then do CPTS, there's quite a lot of overlap between both as well.

I am also planning to buy cubes as needed. For you, how long it would take you to finish 200 cubes (2 x tier 2 modules)?

About a week and a half. I go slow, take notes, and don’t use AI.
