If you're planning on going straight through pretty quickly, you obviously won't need to do WINGS, but there's still a lot to be learned from the FAA meetings and the AOPA Air Safety Foundation meetings.
Also, the new WINGS program recognizes successful passage of an initial CFI checkride, with one additional on-line course (in ADM, I think), as sufficient to cover all three levels of WINGS. So the initial CFI can get you WINGS, which counts as the flight review.
