Basically just a combined instument/commercial with tighter tolerances, I'd think you could do alot of the legwork (studying) yourself and save the money. You might find out in your first flight in a light twin you were already within tolerance then you can take the checkride.. 4 maybe 5 hours total, saved 1k. To each his own.
Total out of pocket for that ride was around 400 total.

ATP on 135 ride
I did my ATP MEL on my 135 checkride in a Navajo. I tried to do it in a Baron the year before, but our POI was a hemorroid. I tried to do the ATP SEL a few months ago when I did a 135 ride in a single engine, but the POI didn't hold an ATP SEL himself, so he couldn't administer the test, even though it is the same test.
I was going to pay for the first one because I was impatient, but I am glad I waited and let someone else pay for it. Total out of pocket was 29.95 for the written prep software and $95 for Lasergrade.
