IAN,
Hi October,
I think this is why I reminded you to make up your mind first, in order to make a sensible selection. As you can see the points that you stated are mostly contradictory so an obvious direction will be needed.
Here's a few assumptions that you seems to be making which are quite commonly mistaken by many parents so let's discuss them together for the reference of others:
Are you assuming through-train (one-dragon, feeder or nominated) schools are less pushy than "traditional" schools? The answer is "no". I think you may want to refer to a few DSS through-train schools, but from my eyes most of them are switching back to the traditional inside while marketing themselves differently on the outside only.
PC and MC are NOT through-train schools (they are in the category of feeder), and they are ALSO traditional schools, both of them. So, neither of them will fit your expectation to be (i) less pushy, (ii) through-train and (iii) create financial obligation.
Whether a kid would be enjoying their learning is not primary related to how the school is, it is whether they like it! Let me remind you and other parents, the factors which affect how much a kid like the school are usually from parents and teachers' individual expectation.
For the financial concern, if it is really a serious factor, then my advice is not to consider private or DSS schools. I always remind parents that the whole school selection require a holistic consideration so you never need to push for private or DSS schools only. There are many many choices that you can explore in your own neighbourhood. It is not a must to pay for schools.
There are a lot of things that you will need to straighten up based on the above. I hope the above can help you to rethink some of your priority and be able to make a good choice for your son, and your family. Good luck!
Ian

you know this is a difficult question to answer in public? I would have to say both schools are undoubtedly good. Concerning which one is better, it is up to what you like subjectively. The usual comparison factors are PC guarantees through-train to primary school, while MS has a slightly lower percentage of admission. For their primary schools, PC is more Chinese based while MS is more English based.
