I would just add - whatever your reason is, try to keep your IR-ME current. It will be much cheaper than renew it at some point in the future. All IR renewals have to go thru ATO. So besides renewing your IR you would also need to renew your class rating - perhaps MEP(land). That will require additional training in ATO before they sign you off for a checkride.
