An added bonus of having a type is when you go to get a job somewhere and they look at your license, they might think to themselves, "Hey, this guy has got a 73 type. That must mean he is not a complete dummy and he has been exposed to the environment in which we will be putting him. Plus, if he can buckle down and do this type rating, he sure as heck should be able to make it through our training program."

Go for it.
