You get good and bad instructors with both systems and also useless knobs that can't fly aircraft as well.
As for the LSA types I am really not suprised, you just have to look at the amount of metal involved with the landing gear on alot of them and its a matter of when not if an accident will happen.
As for the amount of time to cross over. Well its not set in stone. If the pilot has been taught to fly properly in the first place there won't be much of an issue. If they have got through so far by the skin of thier teeth and the fact that the cessna is such a docile wet fish of an aircraft they are going to struggle going to something that needs to be flown poperly or even semi properly.
Saying that I can quite believe that the insurance companys will see a difference. 10-15 hours is enough to cover exercises 1-14 again funny that.
