I second that. It worked for me. I was lucky to get on at a place that had a lot of Cirrus flying going on. It was a great intro to glass. It also has a fairly integrated autopilot, so the concept of mashing buttons in the correct sequence will be old hat to you when you get hired. Local approach controllers knew we were fast enough to mix in with 140kt approach traffic, so that experience will benefit you, too.
