I'm also keen to convert to the DA42 at some point, it's a nice bit of kit, but I do ask myself if that "first" job will be on glass and not analogue....
Everyone talks about the airlines as their goal, but this may not happen immediately and might be some way off in the future, so you've got to ask yourself what's best to train on, to increase your chances of "all" types of work.
e.g. I've seen some where that Ryanair use a 737-200 sim for their inital sim tests, so surely an analogue configuration would seem more wise but other airlines/companies maybe different.
