Ok, so cost is high on the priority list. But what about the higher speeds, more complex systems and higher level of awareness etc required to fly a Baron. The Seminole puttles along with systems like a warrior in duplicate. If you are going to spend so much money, why skimp at this stage. When you come fresh out of the IR a check out on the Seminole would be easier, lower speeds, less complex etc. A check out on the Baron would be hard, squeezing checks in and having to do things much faster than all your training.
Just my thoughts, but if you really want to become the best you can to secure that first job, why skimp for the sake of 50 quid an hour when in the future your'll earn that much a minute!!
