maybe if I give you my point of view. This is a point of view that seems to be shared by some of the pilots who already fly ifr.

flying under the hood you fly the approach and you fly by instruments fine. if your instructor says go missed then you go missed so far I agree with you.

However if your instructor says to go visual you pull the hood and you see a nice bright cloudless sunny day and you land.

even though I have almost no experience in actual IMC but I think that when you break out or are on the virge of breaking out and looking for those two or three runway lights the experience is likely to be very different.

PS if you were a pax and the guy flying you IFR had a newly issued ticket and his experience was under the hood would you feel comfortable being on that aircraft with your family and shoot an approach to mins???

Anymore advice you may have i would love to hear
