Pip-
I will definately take that into consideration and contemplate doing the initial CFI in a single and then just the II and the MEI in the twin. I am glad I did just the initial PMEL because every hour after 15 has been PIC for whatever that is worth in the long run. I just got my letter from the VA approving the commerical instrument in the twin and it approves me for 90 hours of dual and 60 hours of solo at my cost of $58/hr in the duchess after reimbursements, hard to go wrong at those rates.
