I'm a bit short on time - which practice exam would ya'll recommend me to take besides AAMC 1 (took already)?

As many as you can.

The general consensus on the MCAT forum is that none of the prep company tests are very accurate for MCAT 2015, but Examkrackers comes the closest. They have 3 FLs for $50 each. Also, you have to have your test activated during business hours after you buy it, so if you want to take one on the weekend, make sure to buy it the week before.

Would you happen to have a link for them?

Seriously, as many as you can. On the other hand, don't take tests immediately after each other each other because you will be too burned out and you need time to learn from each test. The experience of taking the practice test is half as valuable as the time you spend reviewing any problem areas.

I can't help but feel like if I manage to get above 510 on a single Kaplan FL, it means I know the material inside and out. Their stuff is dang hard.

Both Kaplan and EK are tough. I recommend EK simply because I think the style and content of the passages more closely reflects AAMC material. For me, EK was hard because some of the answer options seemed very similar, while Kaplan was hard because some of the content was out of left field.

I also feel like a lot of Kaplan's tests ask you to differentiate between minute details a lot of the time, to the extent that the MCAT probably wouldn't. Have you done your MCAT yet? I'm trying to ask as many people as possible who have done Kaplan and then taken the MCAT to get a feel for it.

I took it in May. My Kaplan scores were 499, 498, and 503, with the 503 about 2 weeks before the test. My estimated percentile range is 90%-100%.

Congrats. That's good news to me then!

Thanks! I think one thing that was really different between practice full lengths and the real thing was my stamina. I had a tough time staying focused throughout the practice exams (almost fell asleep in one of them). During the real thing, I felt energized the whole way through.
