Save your money. An instrument rating works for both. You don't need the autopilot, you don't need the glass. Most students I taught in it had a sense of invulnerability that I didn't like. Take a look at most cirrus crashes and this becomes very apparent.

I think you'd be a better pilot doing it with round dials and no autopilot. Having more money in your pocket is just an added bonus.
