Night cert cannot be a massive "psychology" issue because VFR-only helicopters can already fly at night (UK night=IFR).

IFR cert is a much bigger barrier, and also involves some actual capability e.g. lightning protection bonding, with embedded conductive sheets in the composite surfaces being needed for both lightning and to conduct away static so your avionics carry on working when flying in IMC.
