I'd second that...not just for the reasons mentioned, but also to iron out what you're not doing right. In the little time building I've done and seen others do, I've found it's not too hard to lose the good habits you were taught by the instructor. So when you fly with an instructor (and not necessarily the same you did your training with), most of the times you realise YOURSELF the mistakes you've been making...maybe due to a casual attitude, or u didn't pay 'concious' attention to it when you were told about it, or maybe due to a combination of reasons. Besides, I've found this also gives you added confidence.
