I guess this is a reasonable opportunity to argue that the question is wrong!. Its not a matter of the rating held but the experience gained.
I now regularly fly in IMC for quite lengthy periods and hardly even notice I have transitioned from VMC to IMC as it has become automatic.
I quite like having backup instruments but basic partial panel flying is worth practicing for the event when everything goes pear shaped.
Once the experience is there the danger and fright capacity reduces - a bit!
