IR before CPL?

Hi all, am due to start my CPL/IR training in the UK in Jan, however am considering doing my IR first, as the Jan weather will I think delay the CPL training somewhat.

I have however been advised against this by the flight school im off to, as they reckon that the IR is too much of a step up from the PPL, ie that doing the CPL first better prepares you for the IR.
What do the PPRUNE massive think of this?

Has anybody out there done their IR before their CPL, if so how did it go? did you find it difficult and what are the advantages/ disadvantages of doing each one before the other one?

I know their is a thread on this already, have tried using the search facility but its a load of crap really isnt it.

Cheers for any help,
