If I had my time again I would have gone for the standalone FAA/PPL to avoid the undoubted hassle I've had over the years getting the 61.75 updated/plasticated/BFRd etc.
As it stands I'm getting too old for all this 61.75 faff and when we're forced to get EASA PPLs in 2 years time I'll just let the FAA/PPL/IR slide as I've now got a JAAPPL/IR and don't see myself flogging over to USA to rent any more.
