MS Flight Sim for IR Prep

Hi. Over the years I've generally steered clear of PC Flight Sim's as I've been VFR and aware of the issues of being drawn head down into the cockpit. I'm now prepping for IR training and I've been using MS Flight Sim (as well as RANT). I'm aware of the lack or realism with needle dip and landing etc though I've found MS Flight Sim quite useful for getting the scan going, general procedures and orientation on instruments alone. Due to my day job it's likely there will be weeks off during training though I reckon the PC sim will be good for keeping relatively current with procedures. How have others found it when used and has it kept things progressing or hindered training in any way?
