In a twin, the opportunities are far more plentiful.

Also, if you give enough multi dual, you won't need to splash out all kinds of cash on upset training. One of your students, sooner or later, will provide upset training just when you least expect it. It's amazing what happens in a B55 Baron when your student, at the worst possible time in a VMC demo, suddenly stomps the wrong rudder, rolls in opposite aileron, and slams the yoke to its aft stop. Who knew the ol' Beech could go inverted that fast?

If you can survive enough of that, Part 121 training will seem incredibly easy.
