Thank you - my (poorly developed at this point...) 6th sense tells me I would benefit from flying 135/91 as prep for 121, but there’s lots of angles from which to look at this.

Learning new airframes and new procedures becomes easier. Shooting approaches to minimums, doing complex missed approaches and dealing with emergencies or curve balls is less demanding.
