I know what you mean, some times I wish I had it done with more time to enjoy it a bit more! (Not much choice $$$)
As far as you question goes...
May not be practical for your fbo or situation( unknown to me)
But you could find someone to fly with for free, I wasn't counting on it. but i got lucky and now have some 40 to 60 hrs of c210 = which was high performance and complex, not only help me to get my ifr ticket but became a double whammy when the commercial reqs arrived.
Just a thought.
