I did an IMC as a fairly new PPL (a bit more than 50 hours, but not many more) and I'd agree with bose-x. However, it's still very good training, provided that you accept that it isn't going to turn you into an IFR god flying NDB approaches down to 600 foot (or 300 foot, if you prefer
). Is it the best use of money? With hindsight, probably not, but if IFR is your thing and money isn't too tight then it's fun and well worth doing.
As an aside, most low-hours IMC holders seem to do very little, if any, solo flying in IMC, so the only bit of the IMC training you'll probably use regularly while flying VFR is the radio nav stuff. You could cover the same stuff for much less money with the shorter AOPA Radio Navigation course - the attraction of the IMC must be strong though, because i've never met anyone who has done the AOPA course
