Thinking of doing ME/IR in Spain, any advice?

Hi all, I am due to finish my final ATPL exams very soon and am looking to book my ME/IR, I want ths first beofre CPL to get the "big one" out of the way first and then have 10 hour knocked off of the CPL course.

I am thinking of doing the ME/IR in Spain as it is much cheaper nd weather is more consistant to complete. Spain is a JAA state and is fine to do the training as long as I add it to a UK CPL, but I just have one worry. Is a JAA Spanish IR worth the weight of one in the UK on my CV. Would an HR dept favour more an applicant with a UK IR as oppose to another JAA member state?

Oviously I would like t save money, but certainly not at the risk of potentially reducing my attractiveness to a propective airline employer.

Any experiences, thoughts, information and advice would be greatly appreciated.
