As a slight thread drift, how much do future employers care who you've done the rating with? Or do they just care what boxes you've ticked?
Also, given say 3 similarly priced options, two of which are in the likes of a Seminole or Duchess with the third being in a Baron or 310, which would be most advantageous?
Personally I understand the need to do the rating with someone who will make you a competent and confident instrument rated pilot, but maybe this poster simply wants to "tick boxes"?
