Anyone go the FAA US hour building- UK JAA conversion route?

This is one of the routes I'm considering. Gettnig my Private Multi-Instrument ratings and building multi eingine, IFR, x/c PIC time in the US...and then converting it all to JAA licences in the UK?

Anyone done this? How did you deal with the ATPL ground school (i.e. when did you do it...to not waste time).

The other route would be to get the FAA and JAA licences in Florida, built time, and head to the UK with all the JAA licences in hand...except for the IR which I think is best to do in British airspace...

seems no point to spend money and effort getting JAA licences from people in teh US...when I could convert the FAA licences and do it the proper way in the UK...with proper JAA instrucotrs...and a ton of flight hours of experience...
