SEIR fulfills the requirement for the ATPL theory. That is half the point. You will sleep the sleep of the just knowing that is done and that you can maintain it.
The other half is to look at the market and judge whether or not you are likely as a low hour entrant to see a commercial job posting let alone an offer in the next two years minimum!
I still feel you are better off maintaining a SEIR until the market picks up.
I am trying to maintain a very expensive ME habit - should've taken up crack cocaine...
