Does anybody has any experience with Sun training? I wonder if the extra $1000 is justified if I sign up for the classroom training vs. the web-based or cd-rom one?

Any advantages / disadvantages for both trainings?

I've never taken any of the Sun training classes, but unless your company is willing to pay for them I'd stick to the traditional self-study books. They should prepare you well enough.

Neither.

The SCJP class is incredibly easy, it is basically a test of your knowledge of the Java syntax and APIs.

The Bates & Sierra guide should get you through just fine. You shouldn't need anything else.

I second that. That book, the Java Language Specification, and the Javadoc for the relevant API classes were all I needed to pass.
