I believe it is also the way that schools such as ALLATPS do it as well. For me, I did it this way because at the time of may training you needed around 100+ ME to get hired at most any carrier. By doing this, after the PPL ME add-on all the hours I flew in the twin were PIC. By the time it came time to do the CFI, I was simply more proficient in the twin as that is what I had spent most of my time in. It worked out fine for me.
As for the oral...it should have you freaked out, its a beast. Put in the time and have your FAR/AIM tabbed and know where to find things and you will do just fine. Mine was with the local FSDO and took about 7 hours or so with a lunch break. It wasn't a bad experience but I was thankful for the hundreds of flashcards I had made as well as the hours of studying. Its meant to be pretty thorough. Keep in mind, you don't have to know everything but you have to know where to find it, quickly. Also, the regulations are reference material, not research material during the oral.

For those of you who got the MEI as the initial CFI would you recommend the same path to someone who has only 40 something hours only on multi airplanes ?
If yes then would you recommend MEI training on a multi you have never flown before ?
