Not used JFBP, but I agree with your view on Minna No Nihongo... I used that in England with tutor before leaving and it just seemed really disjoint and felt like it was making things harder than they needed to be. When I got to Japan, I had a different tutor (who was also my translator for first few weeks) and she was using a course she had created herself which seemed to make everything fit together in a far more natural way
