Anytime in command is good. If I were you I would go and fly the 182 for a bit then go and hire a 210 for at least 3 - 5 hours (depending on budget) I am unaware of any operators up your way with 210's for hire.
OR ... this has been said before, if you really wanted to go and build up your hours try and find 2 friends who will be willing to cost share or even pay a little bit to help you out.
