Why not take your $6600 and start your instrument training now? As you get further in your career you'll find out that hours in a 152 don't really mean much. I have 1500 single engine time but if I go to apply for any job they're going to want to know how much multi, turbine or PIC time I have. They don't care much about TT.
Get your IR, then build some time for commercial, then you can use that extra money you saved to buy multi time. You don't want to end up with 1500 SE, 10 ME and no money in the bank. Be patient.
