Heli/Fixed Wing IFR Rating Question

[Helifan]

Hi there

Been meaning to pose this question to all you PPRuners for some time which is - "How practical is it to do one's IFR rating in a helicopter over that of a fixed wing?"

I am not to concerned about the costs, as that is obvious, but rather in the final quality of one's rating at the outcome. In other words how holistic can the training be considering the additional flying workloads on a heli pilot.

Also does obtaining a IFR rating in a helicopter make one a competent IFR pilot in a fixed wing, if you could fly both? somehow I cannot imagine it.
