Switched to a prop firm after 6 losing months with a discount broker

I spent about 8 months trading through a cut-rate broker that advertised zero commissions but had spreads that ate me alive on every scalp. After December I added up my fills and realized I was giving back roughly $140 a month just in hidden slippage and markup. A buddy pushed me to try a funded prop firm instead, and at first I figured it was another gimmick. Then I actually ran a 2 week demo and compared my fills on the same pairs, the difference was night and day. Now I pay a flat fee and the profit split is honest, no games with the quote feed. Has anyone else compared their real order costs across brokers and found the cheap one was the expensive one?
