Hour Building?

Hey all

I'm currently doing my JAR-PPL, but planning on training through to my fATPL.

I'm a bit confused as to the best route. My plan was to get PPL, then Night Rating, then IMC, then ME, then FI to build hours whilst studying ATPL, then CPL/IR and finally MCC.

However is it right you need around 200 hours before taking FI course? If so, would I be better spending the £5K for the FI course on getting some hours in befor the CPL/IR and leaving the FI part? At the moment, after PPL, Night, IMC and ME I'm gonna have to find another £8K or so just to get enough hours to start the CPL. Or if getting the FI, I'll need £8K then another £5K for the FI course.

Apart from going to Florida, does anyone know of any hour building packages you can get over here, instead of just renting by the hour?

Sorry of this doesn't make sense, I'm trying to figure it out as I go

Cheers all
