GNS3 should be enough to get the job done.

I have this exam booked for 2 weeks time also. I have only used GNS3 for prep and I think it is more than sufficient for the ROUTE exam - I haven't seen the labs on offer with the IOU , but if you're looking for some challenging labs have a look at

www.gns3-labs.com

www.gns3vault.com

Both sites have some really good labs that will get the grey matter going.

Good luck

Those are both great sites! They have some great labs on there and you could spend hours going through some of them to get them up and working.

Now for a real challenge lab up the TShoot topology and use that for all of your labs

That'll kind of kill 2 birds with one stone

You're actually paying for access to slightly dumbed down (so they work the remotely accessed IOU environment) labs from the official Cisco Training Class courseware -- and the emulated lab environment to run them in. You're also free to run any other (supported) commands and labs you want that you can within the fixed topologies for the supplied labs (within your 25 hours + add on hours).

You can see the list of labs included in the bundles in the Cisco Learning Network Store (and compare them against the exam blueprint topics), so if you think you already have labs that cover those topics (or understand those lab topics from your study and lab practice on a simulator, emulator, or real hardware), then you may not gain anything by spending the money for them.
