fwiw, i don't instruct for the utah permit and i still recommend it over the FL.
the states each gives you changes over time, but, when i got mine a year or so ago, UT + PA gave you all the states FL + PA did plus one more. it was also cheaper.

one thing I have yet to read is you may not be able to renew in 5 years, utah is pushing to suspend out of state certifications for in state certifications only, which I believe will happen.

they've talke about that before and it hasn't actually happened. but, it might. however, you don't have to re-take the certification class to renew, so, even if they do pass a law saying you have to take the class in UT, there is a good chance it won't effect renewals.
(the last time this came up...maybe 2 years ago or something...they were discussing not issuing non-resident permits at all. now they are just talking about requiring people to come to UT for the class. but, unless they also change the law to say you have to re-take the class with each renewal, it won't have any effect on non-residents who already have a permit. if anything, it might be a good argument to hurry up and get your UT permit before they make any changes...assuming they ever actually do.)

since I have a hunting license and military training I would rather pay the extra $ 50 to florida than to retake a class from someone but thats me!

that is definitely an advantage for FL. they accept a variety of "training", so you might not need to take another class.
