Options for ME & IR Ratings, simulator time needed?

Hi guys,

I am currently choosing the school for the ME & IR ratings and I have the following options:

School 1:
40 h IFR Single Engine C172
6 h VFR Multi Engine DA-42
15 h IFR Multi Engine DA-42
No simulator at all

School 2:
15 h IFR Single Engine C172
35 h IFR FNPT-II Simulator
6 h VFR Multi Engine PA34
2 h IFR Multi Engine PA34
3 h IFR FNPT-II Simulator

Which one do you think is the best training for IR? I was going to choose the first one, but I am wondering how bad or good for training is not having simulator time. I suppose that in this case it will not be possible to recreate all the IFR situations and procedures you need to learn.

Regarding the money it would be more or less the same, taking into account the extra hours I have to do to reach the 200 h for the CPL.
