If you feel out of currency, even though by the LASOR or club rules you are still OK, then there is no shame in using an instructor.
Just to add - it doesn't have to be an instructor though. As long as you are legally current, you can legally take a passenger - especially if that passenger happens to be a very current pilot.
My club operates several different types of aircraft, with several different engine combinations and to avoid having to be checked out in all different permutations (a quick count brings me to 10 different airframe/engine combinations on a fleet of about 18 aircraft, not counting the multi- and complex ones), there are a few provisions along the lines of "if you are checked out on A and B, you are also automatically checked out on C". Recently I've done my first flights on two of those "C" types. Both times I took an experienced fellow pilot with me. Not an instructor, just a fellow PPL. Works fine and there are plenty of PPLs out there who enjoy getting a free ride as passenger, disbursing some friendly advise along the way about a type they know well.
