Single-engine CPL v Multi-engine CPL

Guys,

I've done a fair amount of research on flight training but I had a thought the other day on what was best to have?

SE CPL & ME IR

ME CPL & SE IR

ME CPL & ME IR (I'm sure this is the best to have ... but that would be expensive)

Obviously the price has a lot to do with it, but I don't want to ruin my chances of employment due to being a tight bugger during training.

I was looking to do most of my JAA training in the states (Converting the FAA IR) but with the 4 schools I read about getting some shabby reviews I am looking toward doing my training in the UK (personal choice / PM's / research).

I am looking to do my training at a a fairly local school like Aeros / BFC / Airways.

I have not ruled out doing my PPL in the states but CPL & IR will probably done at one of the schools above.

Example of costs;

Single-engine CPL course £4,650
Multi-engine CPL course £6,450

Multi-engine IR (Already have a CPL) £11,250
Single-engine IR (Already have a CPL) £8,350


If costs get too high I guess Spain isn't too far away for a Multi IR.

Thanks guys.

(Looking to break into Air taxi work as soon as possible but main goal is to fly jets - bizjet, cargo or airline)
