Well, if they are charging you, then you should probably make do with the latter.
Workshops are about bettering your acting skill, experience can better your skill and resume, so I always tell people to go with jobs rather than classes when it comes to talent.
Like I said, if they are charging you some obscene amount, definately move on to getting regional work.

Two classes a week for four weeks is not a huge investment in time so why not do it? If it's a dud, then leave it before it's over. I'm not sure if you live in NYC or not, but if it's a new place for you, it will be a good chance for you to get to know the city and what's available better, so take the opportunity.

If you can afford the fee, do it.
