I used to be a big LC fan... then I realized how pointless it is. 5-7 days isn't the issue. Spores->agar->grain->g2g gets you more spawn than you can use in less time than you'd believe. And it's clean. Which saves 5-7 days easily.

1) don't make LC 2) do make brf jars 3) don't spawn them to poo 4) do fruit them as cakes in a shotgun FC, as shown in Roger Rabbit's videos: http://www.mushroomvideos.com/

Really? I would have done cakes instead of grains for my first grow if I knew then what I know now.

Cakes are the superior choice for a first grow for many reasons. Yield is excellent, ingredients are plentiful. But for me, the top reason is modularity. If a cake goes bad, you toss it and fruit the other 11. If a jar of spawn was bad, your tub is bad. You lose it, the materials and time it took, and possibly spread contams around. Plus cakes are much, much faster from needle to harvest than any other method.

Project said: Seems like a good way to go if you can avoid contamination.
You can't. Not if you're using spores. You might get lucky, might not. But you can't control it.
Agar technique, on the other hand, gives you complete control over contamination. Grain LC is better than sugar LC from spores. But if the syringe isn't quite clean, your GLC can have a subtle contaminant.
Agar. It's where you want to be.
