dbriglee,

I can't help but feel that with some more experience under your belt, you will develop a different perspective on the matter.

Good training goes a long way but generally it is experience (as I am sure you are aware) which adds capacity, improves problem solving skills and the ability of anticipate problems. Yes, the logistics and technicalities of operating a light twin are quite different to a medium tp or jet but I do not doubt that someone with decent light twin experience brings a lot of knowledge with them to the rhs of a shiney boeingembraerdierbus that the minimum hours cadet does not.

I may be oversimplifying the matter but I think its fair to say that the CPL/IR teaches you how fly an aircraft but it is commercial flying that teaches you how to operate an aircraft.
