Alex, you have opened a can of worms here, some will say yes, the rest no.
I am firmly in the save your money for the ME-IR Camp, but then when I did my training, many years ago, that precisely what I did.
I got a copy of RANT trainer, don't know if that is still available, it was a very good tool.
Also used a copy of Microsoft Flight sim, I got a 1st time pass, so it cannot be all that bad
Good luck whatever you decide
