I had friends who did the CFII as their initial, came back with the same hellish stories as any CFI-initial applicant. Expect much of the same as far as difficulty and time spent in verbal/practical.
On a side note, both friends who did the CFII initial happened to pass on their first try... so take that for what its worth (probably not much).
Good luck!
