Well, I am 14 hrs into my IMC and for what its worth:
1: Im a safer pilot than I was 14 hrs ago
2: It isn't wasted money as if they take it away from me I am still a safer pilot, but sadly poorer.
3: I did it now rather than later in the hope that grandfather rights are forthcoming if they do scrap it, and if not I am a safer pilot :-)
Cheers
