Not knowing how far through your training you are, the other option is to do CPL and IR entirely in a multi if cost allows. The late lamented PAT Bournemouth did this, and it meant you did a combined CPL/MEP test in which you obviously didn’t worry about PFLs or the like, then by the time you got to the IR flying, you were comfortable in the aircraft and could concentrate on instrument flying rather than just flying the aircraft.
