Yes I do agree with you, but going back to the original question by ask, they sound low hours and pre-cpl. It all depends a bit on what they want to do. By all means, if they want to do air taxi work or instruct on twins, of course the route for them is twin time. Usually though, they want quite a few hundred to be able to fly PIC IFR single crew, unless you know someone. Of course twin time is favourite, but who has that sort of cash. In reality, I really feel that TT and your experience IFR, with currency that makes the difference.
Many students who do the MEP CPL, struggle with the extra speed and over run on the time, which at the cost that it is dual, is false economy. Why not take a c150 over to eg Germany from the UK, or several trips to Ireland / Scotland and log all that slow cruise time at £50 per hour (approx.)..... less is you buy a share.
The UK market is very fluid now and I don't feel that what you fly matters, it is how much and where to.
Again, only my opinion and my plan for Airline entry. Maybe I'll end up Locksmithing again.......
