It's a 14 team league, so MFL would only be an additional $5 per man, but I think the guys are a little spooked after last year. There are one or two folks who aren't so computer savvy, and like to stay in their comfort zone.
I'm thinking I just K.I.S.S and do a live draft via Yahoo for the money league, and try a slow draft in a fun league (maybe with cafe members?) before I use it in my league.
Wow, that's surprising guys went from Yahoo over to FleaFlicker and didn't like it that much, I used to be an avid Yahoo user and Flea was like a breath of fresh air, it was really really easy for me to use and function and had no problems navigating...But I really like what Aaawall listed about MFL and the slow draft they have with timers and various options, that sounds like your best bet and that's probably why I want to try out MFL this year.

Agreed. I wanted to try out MFL this year, too, and I was surprised too that people weren't crazy about FF after the investigation I did. Mostly it was the clumsy threads and some buggy scoring issues that did FF in for my league. I personally liked the stats and graphs, etc over Yahoo, but I want to keep the league fun for my guys so I listen to their feedback.
Still I'm intrigued by a slow draft and I'll probably join/start one in the cafe some time over the summer.

One thing I'd worry about is that if thye somehow found flea flicker hard to navigate (which I don't really buy, i think it's a breeze), they might hate MFL. It takes a fair bit of user customisation to suit the setup to your needs. Though, if you create a good, easy-to-use default setup you may run into that problem less.
