I've never done the SEPTA/NJT thing, but having previously looked into it, it didn't seem like a good idea.
Amtrak used to be about $500 for the monthly pass, but I understand that the price has gone up significantly.
The hassle and lack of flexibility of this doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Especially if you've never lived in New York before, you'll be missing out on a good opportunity to get to know the city. Have you taken the bus on this route at whatever times you're planning on taking it each day? Last time I took that particular bus at the end of morning rush hour it took 20-30 mintues just to get off of Manhattan.
