You are still going to have to DHD to/from sim and 1 day of recurrent (unless you are FLL or LAS based) so the numbers still shouldn't be that different.
You do get the 4.5 hours over 22, at least that's what my flica pairing shows for my training center schedule. Total time for my 2 training months, sim and recurrent is 45 hours (18+27).
