It's a pretty big step up to command on the C182, especially the RG. It's really a down to you mate. You may need to ask yourself the following questions in addition to many others:
1. Do I have what it takes for Captaincy on the C182RG?
2. Do I have the time and committment to study the complexity of the 182RG?
3. How well do I know the SOPs?
4. I'm I really ready?
As 25 was saying, the checkies do love grilling the Airvan efos, and it's not easy. You probably have at least another 2 or 3 years left on your Airvan bond, so you will need to consider the extra bond committment on the 182. An opportunity may come along in the mean time for a command on the C206 or even a C210 in a year or 2. I have heard of this happening recently.
Tough decision, but it's great that you have such a hard choice to make! I would have loved to have been in your shoes at 1200 hours! I was only an SO on the C152 at 1200 hours.
My, how things have changed!
Hope this helps and Good luck 210, it sounds as if your career is going along at full steam!
