My point is simply that You cannot compare the IR training in Busy Uk airspace with the 'empty' uncluttered skys over the majority of the US and unless you happen to know somebody with an N Reg you WILL have to get a conversion.
If however cash is more important and you'd rather save a few quid and get yr approaches at exactly the time you want then go ahead.. have a nice day!!

Edit.. If the US is 'better' why is a conversion required???
