Not a good idea either.
We used to have mixed pairings with 200 and 700 flying at Mesa (efficiency) in the UAX system, so most of us were able to stay pretty fresh in both (700/900 are very much the same up front). Until mixed equipment pairings happens at Pinnacle, those PCs in the unfamiliar -900 may result in a look similiar to that of a deer shortly before impact with a bumper.
Type jumping mid-pairing kinda felt like the old CFI days...complex to non-complex, back to complex, then finish the day off with a nice long multi XC... most of you know what I mean.
