I don't have any turbine time at all and figured if it would increase my chances of making through initial, it's worth the money.
I don’t think it’s worth it to spend the money in an actual airplane. If you could find a course that has only sim time and doesn’t cost much, I’d go that route. Practice single engine stuff and approaches all in IMC. In a lot of ways, the turboprop is easier than a piston multi to fly. No mixture to set, easy to see the temps, not that slow to spool up.
If you are at all rusty on instruments, spend time working on that.
