I echo what has been said above. Instead of spending the 10k to burn wholes in the sky go ahead and get your MEI as well as II. You can do both in the multi so you are building PIC multi time and you get more than just hours out of the deal...something to fall back on.

I'm sure you could find an instructor who wouldn't mind doing it part 61 if you got the delta capt's airplane. 130 hr for the plane plus 30 (thats generous) for the MEII....160/hr ain't bad at all.

Good luck, congrats, and have fun!
