Hi,
Regarding the IR in the UK it is getting to be more of a requirement for the future especially for police and HEMS. A colleague flys corporate and has no wish or requirement for an IR, his thoughts. The problem with the IR is:
1. The cost (frightning)
2. Staying in practice when you have the licence, it is easy enough to get the licence, cost not withstanding, it is a different matter after 2 months of VFR to get in the a/c and fly an IFR flight
without any practice in the previous months. If you can get an IR, get it, if not ?

if only life was easy
